PS

This guy fought the odds his whole life. They said he was to small to play LB in College. He was a stud, they said he was to small to play in the NFL, he was a studd! They said he would not go back to coach after cancer, he did!

RIP- The man was a fighter!

[Slim]

thoughts and prayers out to him and his family

Shame. My family was always big Saints fans, always followed him closley. He was a true class act on and off the field. For being tremendously under-sized he played with all heart. He will be missed.
