eball Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 So freaking awesome. Amazing for the kid to take the time to write such a thoughtful letter, and amazing for Po to not just file it away and actually make what could be a life-changing impact on someone’s life. I definitely welled up reading that story. Way to go, Po! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I love that J-Po asked the kid to sign the letter and said he was going to frame it.

The Avenger Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Really nice to see from a guy who has had his own struggles. That he has the time and desire to help a kid like that shows he's probably in a good and healthy place himself - a guy struggling with alcohol is not going to spend his free time doing cool stuff like that. Kudos to Jordan Poyer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Great story. I fear that as magical as Bean has been with the cap, Poyer may be a casualty next year. Oliver, Edmunds, Motor and Poyer are all looking for paydays next year. Hard to understand how they all come in with contracts they want and the Bills do so.

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Classic! Give the English teacher a raise... They taught the kid well on how to write a persuasive essay! 😆 “He sat down with me with all of these brainstormed ideas of what he wanted to say,” Vitello said. “He wanted Poyer to know he’s just as important as Josh Allen.” Suck up! 😉 😆 I mean...
