Trey and BYU Football Spring Drills

Back on March 8, 2012 Trey and I were invited to go with our friend, Jacob Hansen, to tour BYU football facilities, watch spring drills, and meet the team and coaches.
Jacob has CF and CP and I have know his mother, Jodi, for years now.  The Hansen family is a very wonderful, caring and giving family.  Chad Lewis is a former tight end for the BYU Cougars and he played in the NFL for a number of years.  He caught the game winning touchdown in the NFC championship game in 2005 sending the Philadelphia Eagles to the Superbowl against the New England Patriots.  Lewis did not get to play in the Superbowl because when he caught that touchdown pass and came down he broke his foot.
Anyway, Chad does a lot of work for the CF foundation here in Utah, Paul's company (Wicked Audio) has even donated headphones to Chad's charity golf tournament he does each year to raise money and awareness for CF.
Chad and Jacob have become very good friends over the last little bit and Chad invited Jacob to come down to BYU.  Jacob being the ever cool kid that he is asked if he could bring some friends. 
So that is how we got here.

Trey's team is the Eagles, thanks to his brother
picking that out for him years ago.
On this wall it shows all the NFL teams helmets,
then below it lists the BYU players who have
played for that team.

The BYU football team after practice and met Jacob and
gave him lots a cool stuff.  He even got to sign the honored
Y flag.  Then he got to break the huddle for the end
of practice.


Coach Edwards was there for a visit, met Jacob.
He even came over to say HI to Trey.  I was
talking to him so I didn't get any pictures of that.


It was a great afternoon and even, thanks to Jacob for letting us share your day with you.
