ATLANTA – Deshaun Davis and his new friend Jesse, an Alabama fan, were in the midst of an intense Connect Four game last week at Egleston Children’s Hospital in Atlanta. The stakes were high. If Davis won, Jesse had to say ‘War Eagle.’ But if Jesse won, the Auburn linebacker had to utter the other two words.

The two went back-and-forth before eventually, all Davis had to do was one put in more piece and the game was over.
