Funny story. This video is how I got my first full-time job at the @NFL.

Joel Bussert (VP, Player Personnel at the time) saw this tape and hired me on the spot because I could “run left and throw right”. It pays to play! #PlayFootball #TBT

Dabs, you are one of one. One of the most incredible men I've met in my 22 years working at the @NFL.

[Sam Rapoport @samrap10]

Brilliant, ahead of his time, a true leader, a great human, an ardent champion of diversity.

How poetic that his life ended on a Sunday in the fall.

The NFL lost a legend today. Rest in peace, Commish.

Flag football is becoming a global language — a shared game for the next generation, and girls today are driving that evolution.
