Recently an article was written on YAHOO about NFL draft busts. Gabe was mentioned in this article. It really pissed me off. Gabe was not only a phenomenal athlete and on his was to doing great things in the NFL, but he was a hell of a good guy as I suspect he still is. He pulled me up from a bad place and I have never forgot him for it. I only hope I thanked him. Congratulations and God bless you Señor Sack!
Thanks Jose,
The CFB HOF is a great thing. They recognize people who not only excelled on the field, but are great examples off the field too. It’s cool to hear a personal take on someone that points this out.
