MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Last year, WCCO introduced you to a very skilled high school football player.
Danny is the holder on extra points and field goals for the Moose Lake high school football team — even though he’s a in a wheelchair, and paralyzed from the waist down.
His inspirational story reached many people across Minnesota — even some Vikings players, who saw Danny’s story and wanted to meet him.
“My mom, I think she got the phone call. She told me that the Vikings had seen my story and they wanted me to come down and hold some field goals for their extra point unit, so it was kind of a big surprise when I got home from school one day,” Danny said.
