Mr. Davis's plea to his NFL counterparts was very powerful. Goodell almost knocked him over with the powerful hug too!

In this case, they are warranted. That is a fine young man. Very nice to see him recognized with the Payton Award distinction.
Need more men like this

Here's the complete video from the awards show last night from NFL.com. I don't think many of us can comprehend growing up in conditions like his. It is heartbreaking to hear that as a child he thought he was "bad" and was a burden to his mother. Fantastic video, and I showed it to my kids, so they can know how lucky they are to be brought up with different circumstances and to know humility and a sense of duty to be kind, work hard, help others, and have a purpose.
