GREEN BAY – On the fringe of a room crowded with cameras and microphones deep inside Lambeau Field, Nate Hobbs’ mother watched her son introduce himself Friday afternoon to a new life, the future he’s always wanted.
Mom is the hero in this story. “The true pioneer,” her son said. When Hobbs’ father died 13 years ago, Denise pushed on. Raised four children. Motivated her son to pursue his dream.
Hobbs is here now, signing a four-year, $48 million contract with the Green Bay Packers this week, money that will change his family’s life.
