For Shon Coleman, Saturday’s battles in the trenches can be tough. As the left tackle, the 6-foot-6, 313-pound Coleman has had to protect Auburn’s quarterbacks and running backs from a slew of future NFL draft picks that were intent on planting them squarely in the ground with bone shattering hits. To do that Coleman could rely on film study, continuous practice reps and plenty of coaching. Though it may sound tough, those one-on-one battles are nothing compared to the battle Coleman faced as a 17-year old when he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
