MINNEAPOLIS – As a starting cornerback in the NFL, Xavier Rhodes is often looked up to by youth. He frequently feels, however, that it’s the other way around.
“What the kids don’t realize is that they’re the heroes,” Rhodes said. “They’re the ones that help people like myself realize that we’re the blessed ones.
“I look up to these kids for continuing to have courage and continuing to fight,” he added.
Rhodes on Monday participated in his third annual toy drive and patient visit at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital.
