A nice young man

Parker had the privilege of meeting a TCU football player at a TCU basketball game a few months ago.  Parker and Skye Dawson texted off and on, with Skye even coming to watch one of Parker's basketball games.  Skye was a Senior and was hoping to get into the NFL.  Parker watched the NFL draft religiously, hoping his friend would get his big break.  While he didn't get drafted, he did get picked up by the Washington Redskins as a free agent.  He has since been to Washington to try out for the team and was successful at making the team!!  He was back in town last week and he and Parker caught up before he heads back to Washington.  I've met Skye on a couple of occasions and have been very impressed with him.   To take time out of his busy schedule for a young boy who looks up to him is admirable.  He is very polite and respectful and a good role model for young boys.  Here's hoping he's as successful on the football field as he is off of it!
