Psst NFL: if the rationale for denying this request was “then we’d have to do it for everyone,” that’s silly - a policy of “if you earn a graduate degree (MD, JD, PhD, etc.) and want it on your jersey, we’ll do it” is a great message to send - you’re welcome.

We often think “were I in such and such a situation, here’s what I’d do” - but thinking one would sacrifice one’s life to save others is one thing, doing so when put to the test is another - the word hero is often misused - he is a hero.
It is with Great sadness that our Football Family has learned about the death of Aaron Feis. He was our Assistant Football Coach and security guard. He selflessly shielded students from the shooter when he was shot. He died a hero and he will forever be in our hearts and memories
