Houston Texans Anderson and Bruener to Graduate
I saw this story in yesterday’s Houston Chronicle. Two Houston Texans players are about to graduate from college, Charlie Anderson (age 25) and Mark Bruener (age 34). I think these guys are the perfect example of the type of players the Texans are looking for; players who have a high level of respect for themselves and others.
Apparently, the NFL agrees with me because they are honoring Bruener’s efforts by presenting him with the NFL-N4A Continuing Education Award:
Washington holds its commencement this weekend, but Bruener can’t attend. He will be in Arizona receiving the NFL-N4A Continuing Education Award, an honor presented annually to a player who has completed his college degree while playing in the NFL.
So, after a 16 year on and off college career, Bruener finally gets to wear the cap and gown and the NFL decides to prevent him from attending the ceremony.
Now that shows the NFL’s commitment to PR…I mean education!
