Thanks Skeeta for sharing, I always love hearing about these kids that had to struggle through adversity by no fault of their own, but by the faults of some of the adults in their life, and they make it with the odds dead against them and in spite of all that was there to crush their young lives before they ever had a chance. I hope and wish John the best life possible for the rest of his life bc he has had more than his share of struggles during his part of life that could have very easily went in the wrong direction. And I pray that he has picked up enough life skills to know when someone is kissing up only to get their hands into what he has earned from his hard work and staying far away from the trouble that could have ruined his young life. Good luck to you Big John Simpson, you Big O Clemson University Graduate!!!

Big thumbs up to John Simpson Senior (John's grand dad) - way to make a difference in a lot of lives!

Sports Radio in Charlotte were complaining that Simpson was our representative for

ACC Media Day instead of TL.

Maybe if they did a little bit of research they would realize that a senior OLineman might have some interesting things to say.

Nobody else gets it . Only Dabo and Clemson. We get it. That is why we got it.

Why his tears flowed like a river after beating Ohio State. He let loose. It was so touching.

Great read, and I love those success stories where kids make it through some of the toughest unsolicited conditions/obstacles of what could have easily ruined their life bc of it.

Reading that article on John Simpson made my heart feel good just knowing that John Simpson had his life changed for the better, and I do believe that it is bc of how Dabo runs his program with real feelings of love for the young men in his care along with all of his assistant coaches...

The guys that won't have an NFL career after they leave Clemson but, they will have a Clemson degree that will give them a better head start on building a successful future that will allow them to have a much much better life than almost all coming from those tough backgrounds bc, Dabo and his coaches teach a lot more than FB that helps those young men to be successful after Clemson FB even without an NFL contract. And when I personally read stories like the John Simpson story, and there are many many more stories just like the John Simpson story that Dabo and Clemson FB has changed those stories for the better, and it helps people see and learn that it isn't all about FB with Dabo and his staff, it's mostly about growing the best young men that is possible with Dabo at Clemson University!!!!
