If some aren't aware of Steve Gleason and his story then I will fill you in a bit.
He was a standout LB (albeit undersized) at WSU. He wasn't drafted but made it on to the Saints roster as a special teams standout.
After the Saints returned to the Superdome post-Huriccane Katrina he made a memorable block of a put that created a touchdown and forever cemented himself in Saint fan's hearts.
After retirement he was diagnosed with ALS (commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease).
You can learn more about his battle with ALS here:

They think there could be a link between ALS and sports but they can't prove it (at least yet).
