Simply put, Austin is the perfect motivational speaker even though he never played college football. He was a star seven-footer who averaged 12.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game in two seasons with the Bears and subsequently declared for the 2014 NBA Draft, but saw his budding career come to a sudden end when he was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome just before the big night.
