David Thornton Supporting Quotations

We were there to support him. And he ended up supporting us. It was a very emotional moment. There was joy in the room. He seemed relieved to see us, and we were so happy to see him and the way he was being a tower of strength for his family.

I'm excited about them coming out to support me again. Everybody who came had a positive and enlightening experience, ... They ride 12 or 13 hours on a bus to support me, and hopefully we can continue to do it each year. It means a lot to me to know Goldsboro is still following me and supporting me in my pro career.

It was amazing to see the strength that Coach Dungy showed throughout the whole day - just being there for his family. We were there to support him, but it ended up being him supporting us. His message to the whole team for guys to be stronger, to be bolder and have faith, be better role models. It was very encouraging for a lot of guys. They're still talking about it today.

It was like a sigh of relief. He gave everyone a big hug. He didn't have a chance to do that the other day when we came down. But he hugged everyone. He was so excited to be back with his family, his football family. Everyone is so happy for him. We're still supporting him.
