In a few days the NFL draft will be held in New York City. One of the players that will be drafted is a QB out of Louisville named Teddy Bridgewater. He made a promise to his mother that when he makes it he will buy her a pink Cadillac. Pink because she is a breast cancer survivor. This is a great video directed by Spike Lee that shows how much of a good young man he has become. Any NFL team would be lucky to have him. While you can question his size and his skill you can’t measure the intangibles like heart and leadership.
You may remember that I did the NYC Avon walk for a breast cancer cure a few years ago. While I am not doing it this year my daughter in law Liz will be doing it next week in Boston. If you feel like helping her reach her goal that would be great.
Great story. Thanks for sharing this, Vinny. I will make it a point to watch this young man’s career as it develops. The Cadillac connection is topper on a terrific family tale.
She is one lucky mom!
