Trotter: Free of cancer, Eric Berry finds his form

Some images are never forgotten. They're indelibly imprinted on your consciousness, which is what happened to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid earlier this year when he flew to Atlanta to visit safety Eric Berry, who was undergoing chemotherapy treatments for lymphoma.

"At about 2 o'clock he ran out of juice," Reid said. "I mean, it was just like, 'I need a nap.' That's going to open your eyes a little bit."

He had no hair on his head or face, and his eyebrows had fallen out, but it stuck with Reid that the former Pro Bowler had a single hair growing from his chin -- and that Berry refused to cut it.
