Jordan Gay kicks off students' zest for math

Bills kickoff specialist Jordan Gay is an unlikely NFL success story. The Kentucky native played his college ball at Division III Centre College in not only his home state, but his hometown of Danville. Staying close to home through his college years has made Gay a local celebrity now that he’s playing in the NFL. And it’s that celebrity that was seen as a valuable tool for one special education teacher at Gay’s former middle school.

Getting students excited about math in middle school can be a challenge. For students with special needs the lift can be even heavier.
