Ameer Abdullah blog: Thanksgiving Day game is very special

My brothers, my father, myself — we’ve always watched football on Thanksgiving Day. It’s a very special game because you’re in front of pretty much everyone. Everyone’s at home and watching that game. To be a part of that is going to be special. I definitely want to make a good impression for the world to see.

When balancing football and family around the holidays, I just let my family know I’m still at work. A lot of people may be off, but I’m still at work.
