Someone I met today is a professional football player.

I don't really follow sports, but I do volunteer at random events throughout the year. I met Michael Bennett today of the Seattle Seahawks doing work with The Bennett Foundation. We didn't talk much, but a couple things stood out. He's huge, well to me, a 125 pound 5'4" person. 

When I met him, he was sitting as his booth rapping to himself as kids ran drills on the football field. It seemed like a pretty chill day to him, especially considering that he wasn't in the sun at all. Either way, it's cool that he participates in this community despite not coming from it. 

His wife is from Hawaii, but he used to be extremely overweight despite the fact he plays football. Combined together, his foundation works to fight against childhood obesity. That's awesome.
