Some people let anything stop them from achieving their dreams and goal, other people don't. Here are two good examples of people that didn't allow disabilities to stop them from achieving their dreams of playing in the NFL. First up in Derrick Coleman he's the fullback for the Atlanta Falcons, Derrick is deaf but he never allowed that to stop him from achieving his dreams, he also use to play for the Seattle Seahawks. When he's in the huddle he have to read the quarterback lips, to see what play is being called. Derrick is the first deaf offensive player in the NFL. Next up Shaquem Griffin. Shaquem only has one hand but he didn't allow that to stop him from playing football, and he never allowed that to stop him from believing that he could make it to the NFL and play professional football. Well believing in God and himself and putting in hard work has paid off, he just got drafted into the NFL. He was just drafted by the Seattle Seahawks. He could have easily talked himself out of pursuing his dreams, but he didn't. Most people with two hands never make it to the NFL, but this young man only has one hand and he made it. Life is short, if there is something that you want to do in life, do it. If you have goals and dreams inside of you, go after them. If it's a dream that's inside of you, but you have put it on the shelf for years, knock the dust off of your dreams and go for it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Video of his draft night. This was when he was in middle school. He went to the NFL combine workout and he outperformed everybody there. He benched pressed 20 reps of 225 pounds, and he ran the fastest 40 yards dash out of the defensive players. Edited by Chicago, May 8 2018, 04:22 AM.
