Kevin Turner's Rugged Road

(http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/0314/nfl_kturnerillo_576.jpg)

Kevin Turner couldn't sit still on that April afternoon in 1992. The Alabama fullback tried to watch the NFL draft for as long as he could, but a combination of tension and monotony increased with each pick. Every 15 minutes another name that wasn't Kevin Turner was announced.....

Gut wrenching. But characteristically courageous for Kevin to share his story.

I wish Kevin the best , unfortunately this is the side of football that isn't pleasant or fun to watch
if you read the comments people can't remember him , one even says "maybe the eagles fans can"
I'll tell them why they don't remember him , because he kept his nose clean that's why
he wasn't out in bars shooting himself in the leg or being arrested for sexual misconduct and such .
he just quietly played the game got the job done and was humble without calling attention to himself .
that's why ...
