Harnish passes on experiences during speech to school children

MALTA – When Chandler Harnish give speeches to children – as he did to a group of eighth-graders Friday at Kishwaukee College as part of Career exploration day – it's not all about the NFL and Andrew Luck and the bowl games he played in at Northern Illinois.

The former Huskies quarterback also talks about mistakes he's made in order to make the point about learning from mistakes, and also as a way of relating to the children.

"They look at you as an NFL football player and you've achieved everything, but you want to show them that, 'Hey, I've been through the same situations," Harnish said.
