Ready set go there you go Miss fford was uh big uh part of me of you know staying focused in school and being able to lead me to the way you know and just showing me what what what's life was going to be about Edan was a great student he was very much um a typical boy loved Sports every day at recess he played football and there were two other guys who were great athletes Tony Alexander and TR DeVille who played with him and the three of them were a combo that were undefeated at that time they would spend time with me if they didn't do their homework or their classwork so guess what these guys never miss their assignments now being younger recess was the most important and funnest part of the day so having that having that uh standard for us was was another thing that I love the B and that is the instincts and the explosive play that all of the colleges love absolutely he was just one of those special students who always um he did the right thing and that's what I'm hoping his message to others in same C Paris schools is to choose to do the right thing whether you become a pro player or not it's important to be a good person always she said you you know you going to need your uh education you know no matter what and sometimes things don't go right for you so having that education you know getting that done knocked out the way that's something you could always lean on Mariel Anderson got it from Cooper when Ed made it to Texas ANM that was a big deal and I promis that I would come see him play and I did and he's had a great career at Texas A&M and now he's on to bigger and better things never in my wildest dreams would I have thought one of my former students would be a professional NFL player but I'm so happy that he is I'm so happy he has achieved this dream the Green Bay Packer select Edan Cooper he is what we all would hope our children to be and our students to be
