There couldn’t be a better story this season than what Kansas City Chiefs veteran safety Eric Berry just accomplished on Sunday during the team’s 29-28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
Berry, who grew up 25 miles southwest of downtown Atlanta in the community of Fairburn, is the NFL’s reigning Comeback Player of the Year after beating cancer and being named an All-Pro less than a year later.
That’s the story everybody already knew before Sunday, but Berry added another chapter to his amazing journey with his performance at the Georgia Dome, which sits just a few blocks from Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute, where Berry underwent his chemotherapy treatments.
