He doesn’t block for the running back
He doesn’t protect a place kicker
He doesn’t throw his hands up in victory
He doesn’t chase a number on a score board
He walks thru the mud
He sloshes his way thru knee deep water
He drives thru destruction
He analyzes what the need is
He doesn’t seek adoration
He doesn’t expect a thank you
He knows it’s not redemption
He knows why he is there
He knows there is no goal line
He knows the relief on people’s faces
He knows the tears
He knows damage has brought him to this place
He comes to help
He comes to restore
He comes to lend a helping hand
He comes when he is needed
The look in people’s eyes is more than enough
