Awesome stories.

He's my number one player to root for to make the team.
Number two is Erin Henderson, EJ's little brother.

Yeah I hope he can somehow make the team. Although my number one player to root for around the league is Marcus Dixon, who got signed by the cowboys. As much as I them, he is a quality kid that has been through a lot as well. I hope both players do well in whatever they pursue though
