Too long, didn't read it all.  But the part that I did read was thought provoking.  If he was in that much pain and still trying to play at the level that was expected of him, my hat is off to him. I hate all the bad that happened to him and wish him the best.

Thanks for posting the whole letter 2.  I had read parts of it but not the whole thing.  Calvin had a rough childhood.  (Understatement!) But he kept battling.  God bless him for that.  We look at him as a great receiver at Bama but there was so much more to him than that.  We never knew.

I guess the 'younger brother' he refers to is Riley.  Maybe Riley had it a little emotionally easier because Calvin was there to protect him.  Lots of responsibility fell on Calvin at a young age.

I hope Calvin can get back to being the great ball player that we all know he can be.

Roll Tide, Calvin.

Well he has an education that he can share and help his family with even the money from playing ball. RTR!
