Seahawks Fullback Derrick Coleman Gets a Fan Letter From A Little Girl Who Is Also deaf

[TINY]

Seattle Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman is the NFL's only deaf player. He was recently featured in a Duracell commercial that outlined his journey to the NFL.
A deaf girl from New Jersey was inspired by the commercial so she wrote him a letter.
It's adorable:

All the GM's that didn't draft him must be hitting their heads against the wall now.

I grew up playing little league football with a boy who was deaf, mute. His father was our head coach, his uncle played many years in the CFL and also coached our team. The boy, went on to play 2 seasons in the OHL, then onto play NCAA division one at a school for the deaf. He is a principal in the school system for the deaf in Ontario.

Like Art Mann said in one of his threads.

Never give up.

:Crying/:Great clip, Coleman seems the type that would do a lot of good for those with hearing impairments and other disabilities. Kudos to Duracell as well for the Superbowl tickets to the family.
