Brian Griese had an 11-year career in the National Football League, but his accomplishments on the field are being surpassed by what he has done off the field and since his career ended.
He led the University of Michigan to an undefeated season in 1997 and was the MVP of the 1998 Rose Bowl.
On that day, his father, Bob, was broadcasting the game.
“The ball had wings that day,” Griese said. “But a third member of our family was also there with us.”
That would be his late mother, Judi, and Brian has found an outlet to honor her in recent years.
