The Players' Tribune has evolved into a fantastic source for athlete-driven content. NaVorro Bowman recently published a memoir on the website about his late coach at Suitland High School in District Heights, Md. The San Francisco 49ers linebacker wrote about Coach Lynch, the impact he had on his life and the devastation of learning he'd passed away.
Bowman was still at Penn State when he found out that Coach Lynch had passed away in a fatal car accident. The linebacker was asleep in his Los Angeles hotel room on the eve of the 2009 Rose Bowl game when the team's defensive line coach woke him up and broke the news.
