While with the Bills, he stayed true to his reputation for being one bad dude. Paul McGuire, a football analyst for CBS, calls Costa “one of the dirtiest players I have ever seen, or played with.” It seemed as if Paul had little hope of sanctification until one traumatic event brought him to his knees.

During Paul’s 6th year of professional football, his 4-year old son was diagnosed with a terminal disease. No matter how tough Paul might have been on the football field, this was one problem he couldn’t tackle. It all came to a head late one night at the Buffalo Children’s Hospital when Paul received a call; his son was fading quickly. He rushed to the hospital, but when he arrived it was too late. Paul Jr. had already passed.

I remember back to his playing days. Besides Costa and Frank Reich, I wonder how many other former Bills are in the ministry.
