Not too long ago, Texas Longhorns tight end Andrew Beck nearly walked away from football entirely. Just weeks prior to the 2017 season, Beck fractured his foot yet again — this time treatment required a plate and two screws — forcing him off the field once more and prompting the Longhorns senior to contemplate whether or not it was time to call it quits.
Understandably so, as Beck’s latest injury was one that seemingly refused to allow his collegiate career to finally take off and find its footing. Beck, of course, didn’t hang the cleats up, and that’s a decision his credits to a conversation with his father, Chris.
