Inspiring story about a UAlbany incoming freshman with one hand and severe diabetes. Good off-season reading.

I feel good that he's doing what he always wanted to do, and that's to play college football. :) :) :)

But I do feel really bad for him because he's missing a hand and has diabetes. :( :( :(
