Shon Coleman knows as well as anyone what it’s like to be wounded.
The former Auburn offensive lineman was diagnosed with leukemia shortly after signing in 2010, and spent three years undergoing treatment and regaining strength before becoming a two-year starter.
At this week’s NFL Combine, Coleman is remembering those who have been wounded while defending their country.
Coleman and former Alabama offensive lineman Ryan Kelly will compete Thursday in theEagle Fund’s Bench Press Challenge, raising money for active duty members of the Special Operations community.
"I'm really excited for the Combine and the opportunity to give back to our Nation's heroes," said Coleman, who earned a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration and a master’s in Adult Education from Auburn.
