Yeah that young man is what the NFL needs. Wish him the best and really hope he ends up with a team that does well.

Well said guys. You know this kid seems like the real deal as a human being. Very grounded, humble, appreciative just exactly how you are suppose to conduct yourself. I hope the NFL life doesn't sway that to the worst side but some how with Teddy I don't think it will happen.
I read his Mother worked sometimes three jobs because she didn't want hand outs and to raise her kids with pride and dignity even if they didn't have much. Kind of looks like she might have done a heckuva job if you ask me....:)

Thats what I was thinking Mark. I hope the NFL doesn't sour him into getting with the wrong group of guys. Sounds like his momma may be able to keep him straight!

I was impressed that he graduated in 3.5 years. No problems off the field.

I heard he just surprised his mother with a pink caddie! Looks like all her hard work is paying off. Great story.
