In late December, Jason Wright(notes) reached a career crossroad, one flush with two amazing opportunities.


Down one path was a full scholarship to the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business that would prepare him to empower inner-city children, perhaps someday allowing him to open a charter school. Down a second path was a contract with the Arizona Cardinals - worth more than $1 million a season - that would financially help his family and continue the dream of many to play in the country's most popular sport

This just goes to show you that having certain players on your team that aren't putting up big numbers, still have a strong impact on younger players development.

Thanks for posting this great article. Jason Wright is a winner. My sister is a professor and dean at the University of Chicago (my brother-in-law is also a professor at U of Chicago) and they are hoping to meet Jason and his wife. I will let everyone know if and when they do.

Great great article. Being a Christian, its very inspiring for a person like me to see the impact someone else can have on another human being...and it's even better that that person has honored our organization. Thank you for posting!
