Steve Gleasons story is both inspirational and tragic. A beloved former safety and special teams player for the New Orleans Saints, Gleason retired in 2008 and announced in 2011 that he was battling?amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrigs disease.Gleason has devoted his post-NFL life to raising awareness for ALS and to cultivating a positive legacy. His Twitter account reads: Inspiring people to live with purpose. Although his life has a new focus now, he still makes time to enjoy the game he loves.?Seen above, Gleason makes a visit to his former stomping grounds and takes a selfie with his former coach Sean Payton, who has been at the helm for the Saints since 2006.Gleason is perhaps best remembered for his punt block in a 2006 game against the Atlanta Falcons; the block led to Saints cornerback Curtis Deloatch recovering the ball in the Falcons end zone for a touchdown.It was the first score on home soil for the Saints in nearly two years, as New Orleans was on the tailend of recovering from the devastation that Hurricane Katrina brought on the city.?Gleason is determined to face adversity head on and live his life to the fullest. The documentary Gleason, which was released earlier this year, chronicles his journey from playing in the NFL to living with ALS and depicts how he works to help others who have been diagnosed with the disease.This season marks the 50-year-anniversary of the Saints organization. In honor of this, the Saints have named an All 50 Team, which comprises 50 of the best Saints players throughout the past 50 seasons. All members of the All-50 team will be honored in a halftime ceremony on Sunday when the Saints play the Detroit Lions. Gleason, naturally, was named to the team.

Parker is averaging just 34.5 receiving yards over the past four games, and his targets are decreasing. Miami is transforming into a run-first offense behind emerging star tailback Jay Ajayi, which means a lesser role for Parker. -- James Walker Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
