The first time we ran it, he ran up field ” fat, dumb and happy” and never saw me coming. I had visions of earning playing time if I could flat back the great Bruiser, so I hit him with everything I had. Just at the last second, I swear all he did was turn his head toward me, and I went from full speed ahead to crumbling like a stack of saltine crackers. I'd never been hit that hard in my life. My neck hurt; my bell was rung; my pride was destroyed. Then we ran the same play again... Twice. He was such an amazing guy, both on and off the field. He will be missed. Ryan, I'm sorry for your loss.
