    Hey Chris

    Congrats on player of the year. Between you and the NY Giants (sorry i am a huge giants fan) this year. You sure teach kids and adults that even if get knocked down you can pick yourself back up and win it all.

    Perservirence is so key these days and what you did was just that.

    I thank you for that and you are a great role model as well.

    Congrats

    Thanks
