I'm looking for some inspiring/feel good sports stories that have good videos with them, preferably recent ones. So far I have Jimmy Butler's story on his upbringing, Thomas Robinson's story from College Gameday a couple weeks ago, and Eric Legrand leading the Rutgers onto the football field. Can anybody help me out and post some links to some recent feel good sports stories? Thanks.
How recent? I have a good one about an autistic football player at my kids' high school, but it is a couple of years old.

That would work. I'd be interested in seeing that. Thanks.

That'd be great. If you could somehow tie that into athletics that'd be cool. I would not be interested in seeing a video on this one, though...
Mark Herzlich... Boston College player who missed a season due to cancer, now playing in the Super Bowl for NYG
This is a good one from the Packers. Sunday Countdown runs a bunch like these

Thank you. Forgot about Herzlich. Great story.
Well, shoot, it looks like some of the best videos have been taken down. But here is one:

This is some footage of him being interviewed after receiving an award from Holly Robinson Peete. Unfortunately, it's narrated by a lame self-appointed "internet journalist".

Here is a newspaper article that goes into more detail.

For what it is worth, fellow Muscooper JSGlow was the person who contacted the Packers about his affinity for Donald Driver, who sent him a video congratulations and some other cool stuff. Winfred's dad is an ex-NFL player who is a single dad raising 3 kids on his own, 2 of whom are autistic.
