I apologize if it has already been posted.

I figured some would like to see where this kid came from to be where he is today. He was a lucky one.

Wow. That almost made me cry. That situation with his sister is so much to put on his shoulders, but I'm glad he is responsible and stepping up for his family. He was so fortunate that his dad got them out of that part or St. Louis when he did. Wish nothing but the best for his career.

When you have something to motivate you like that, there is no telling how much of a beast he can be in the NFL. He has something to push him in those exhausting 4th quarters.

Wow, didn't know Kony's full story. Just knew his pops got him out of St. Louis when he was a young teen. I know that part of the city really well, and it's really bad. Hope he goes on and has a HOF career.

Ladamian's story might be even more tragic:

Ladamian's story is tragic and inspiring. All the loss he's had, and to still have that attitude, and drive, is fantastic. I'm proud of both these young men, great Tigers. Ladamian may not be an early pick, but I would not bet against him. His attitude and will gives him a special edge.
