These kids watch football on Sundays and they see the United Way commercials. One of the kids told me he thought it was cool that they were getting to help out like the NFL players in the United Way commercials.

My goal for next year is 1,000 kids in the program. I've been told that I'm crazy to want that many, but I really think we'll get it next year.

They get to see that as athletes, people in the community look up to them.

These kids have invested a ton in getting ready for this football season, so they worked real hard at getting back.

We felt like we were a much better football team than we were showing. Our kids are battlers and that's what we did in the second half. They responded to some adversity themselves and rose above it themselves. It's a credit to them.

We want those kids to be playing football.
