Tim Shaw

And so I'm blessed to be able to still have a quality of life that's favorable for what I need to do in my daily life.

But I also played, while I was in Tennessee, I played with another guy, a special team or linebacker named Tim Shaw.

who also was diagnosed with ALS.

And so while I was there, he came back and I've kept in touch with him online and I've seen him a couple of times since.

you remember the last time the Titans had a blocked punt return for a touchdown? I'm going to...

Man, was it Tim Shaw? No, it was McCourty, 2011.

So I was on the team.

yeah i survived

James Williams was there, too.

And it was awesome how they gave a shout-out to Tim Shaw.

And they said Tim Shaw spoke to them that week leading up, which is always cool to see him still in the facility and hanging out and having an impact.

But what a play by the special teams group.

Then you look at Carnell Tate.

So he'll be the next one.

And another one that we did that was really powerful that will be coming out here in a few weeks was with Tim Shaw.

And as everyone that listens to this broadcast knows, Tim has been battling ALS for over a decade now, and he was such a valuable member of the Tennessee Titans and a fantastic special teamer.

What I don't think that people know is that Tim is still around the Titans every day.

He also draws strength from a network of fellow NFL players living with ALS, whom he affectionately calls his NFL brothers.

Chris Johnson, Tim Shaw, O.J. Berggren, Eric Stevens, Steve Smith, others, they're my fellow humans.

We are here and we are all in this together.

Players get this disease at a higher rate than the general population.
