I had the opportunity to attend this event last night here in Louisville. It really turned out to be a wonderful event. Saquon was here with his family. He is a very impressive young man as we all know. He handled and presented himself with class all night. He comes across as a very sincere young man not taking anything for granted. He got a little choked up talking about his parents and how much them mean to him.
Coach Franklin was also here with his family. He was very gracious. An alumni from our table went up to find him and let him know there was two tables of alumni in attendance. He came back with her, introduced himself to each person at both tables and took photos with all the alumni in attendance. What impressed most was he introduced himself as James...that struck me a being incredibly humble. He also did a wonderful job in his speech. I always enjoy hearing how he has 125 sons and two daughters. As he concluded, he got a little bit emotional talking about Saquon and how he has been a great big brother to his daughters.
The highlight of the evening was NFL great and featured keynote speaker, Jim Brown. I have always enjoyed hearing him interviewed and him sharing his stories and experiences. Last night, he did not disappoint. He delivered a powerful and meaningful message to all in attendance. Even though he is now 82 and he mentioned he had not been infront of a microphone in a while, he did a tremendous job.
All in all a great night in Louisville for Penn State...congratulations Saquon!!!
