Brock is an inspiration. Also, his brother has really waited patiently for his time to play, and not once did you hear that he was frustrated or annoyed. He just kept working and supporting his teammates until now, where he is in a position to big a HUGE part of our thin offensive line. What a great family. Still pains me to see something so devestating happen to such great people.
