Cool little Tyrod story

So about twenty years ago I was a Big Brother in the Boys and Girls program in Phx for this little black kid, Demetrius, who was six at the time. I did it for six years, took him everywhere. He was awesome. I got him into Little League football and all kinds of other stuff.

 

Then when he was 12 I moved to LA and he moved with his mom back to Virginia and we lost touch for awhile, even though we both looked for each other, but several years because of Facebook, we reunited and we talk all the time. He became quite a good high school football player, and made all league as a senior.

 

So a few days ago he texts me to say hi, and that he is coaching little kids football this summer, and thought of me, which was cool. Then he said "And I know you love the Bills and Tyrod Taylor is helping me out sometimes." And I was like no way!

 

So he sends me...

 

 

Great story... and great that you, KtD, volunteered for the Big Brother program!

Thanks for sharing. Tyrod certainly is a class act.

 

Last summer I took my son for our annual trip to SJF. In the past, at least 7 or 8 players will stick around after practice to sign autographs. After this particular session, however, all the players bolted for the locker room. Tyrod was the only player to sign autographs that day, and he stayed until everyone who wanted an autograph/picture got one. He earned a great deal of respect from me on that day.
