NYT article on Marquise Hill

[ctpatsfan77]

The title says it all--In Patriots’ Season to Remember, a Teammate Is Not Forgotten. It's a reminder of why we all root for the Pats.

Just a couple of paragraphs:

In one of their last telephone conversations, Marquise Hill confided in his mother, Sherry. Back in his native Louisiana for a weeklong visit before the New England Patriots’ June minicamp, Hill, a 24-year-old reserve defensive lineman, said: “Momma, guess what. I feel like we’re going to be unstoppable.” [. . .]

Professional football teams are often depicted as families, but the Patriots showed themselves to be one in the wake of Hill’s death, paying for his funeral and attending it as an organization. Shortly afterward, some of the players suggested that they wear his number on their helmets.

It's a fairly lengthy article, but worth the time.

I am still willing to bet I will hear Sean Taylors name more times on Saturday even though the Redskins aren't playing than Marquiese Hill. If they mention Hill at all.
