Danny Woodhead is an NFL player who entered the league from an obscure low level college program, un-drafted, undersized, but with a great deal of determination, pluck and un-recognized (by the professionals) talent.

You don't have to like football, the NFL, or any of the teams to appreciate this missive. I am a Patriots fan, and we all loved this guy when he made the team, and were very disappointed to see him leave. As a fan in the market where he played, I was able to see more of his story and personal characteristics on display than others might have been able to, but everyone agreed-this guy is a quality human being who happens to play sports for a living.

I show two pictures of him here, one is a remarkable sports photo, showing grace, power, and talent:

...and one that shows something of how he appeared to the fans when he showed up. He is not a big guy, and his mannerisms and appearance without his helmet exuded a boy who just got a chance to play on a professional football team:

Which, when you come down to it, is kind of his story.

An inspirational story, a wonderful "letter" about overcoming challenges, warmed my heart reading it.. Hope you enjoy it.

Much shorter letter in the case of myself:Dear Me: DO all the crap the old geezers and dumb asses TOLD you to do and DON’T DO any of that silly crap you have in your own head.

Amazing testimony. Thanks for posting.

My own story, while not as public as Danny’s, is just as filled with clear signs from God about what I’m supposed to do. I’m not all that good at listening, so.... A couple of times, God had to hit me on the head with 2x4. But, he also provided me with a perfect life partner to help pick me up and point me in the right direction.

God is good.
