Finally an article from the Athletic, by Scott Cruikshank no less.
Great story on DaVaris Daniels and his family.
Quote:
The kid – on the morning of Dec. 18, 2005 – turned to his dad Phillip, defensive lineman of the Washington Redskins, and made his request.
“It's crazy,” says DaVaris, “but I was like, 'Man, can you just get me one sack today?' And he's like, 'Yeah, I can get you one.'”
One? Phillip – unleashing a National Football League rampage the Dallas Cowboys won't soon forget – registered four sacks, equalling Dexter Manley's club record, and recovered one fumble, en route to conference defensive-player-of-the-week honours.
Happy birthday, indeed.
