Define "great guy," and inform us of how you know this.

well, i didnt feel like typing the story but i will
carlos jenkins was born in palmbeach,florida (same with me so that makes him awesome in the first 5 seconds of his life), he was a straight A student and had a great football ability, he made it to college through a scholarship for football, and had always wanted to be a teacher-but he needed money badly because of racism in his town, they wouldnt give him a job anywhere
he joined the nfl draft, got drafted by the purple puke
he was a great player, who cared so much about his hometown he gave 4,000$ of his 12k contract to palm beach
he eventually got dropped and picked up by the rams, then after 2-3 years, he retired, went back to palm beach to live there, donated lots of money, and since palm beach STILL is low on teaching staff, hes now the gym teacher
pretty lucky students

but the main thing is, he inspires me to go after what i want, no matter what i have to do to get it-hes one of the nicest people youll ever meet (he brought me a bottle of vodka last time i met him :D)
so pretty much this is another corny inspiration story
