Tennessee safety Todd Kelly Jr. is working to make sure that others learn from the legacy of a young Knoxville football star who died a year ago.

Kelly made a speech at a Knoxville-area school as part of Zaevion Dobson Day this week in honor of the former Fulton High School player who died at age 15 in December 2015 after shielding three girls from the gunfire of a drive-by shooter.

Today is Zaevion Dobson Day, may his heroic acts of courage and selflessness encourage you to be the best you can be on a daily basis
