Hans Vollmecke would have probably liked his first interaction with Kirk Cousins to have come during better circumstances, but the excitement and thrill of seeing his favorite football player address him over a video message would have remained the same.
A junior football player at Langley High School, Hans nearly lost his life last week driving his pickup truck in the pouring rain. On a two-lane road, he lost control of the rear tires, couldn’t regain traction, slipped into the other lane, then off the road, and, according to Hans, “just embraced,” before slamming into a tree.
