Erin Flynn Quotations

This race is the kickoff of the foundation. It's their big day.

We know their stories on the field. We know why they're legends, why they're in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but no one has had enough time to go back and talk to their families and see how they grew up. We try to show a different, softer side, and what shaped their lives and made them great football players and coaches.

We found that these guys are down-to-earth and have the same struggles you and I have. I'll still root for my favorite teams. I'll still root for the Eagles on Monday night. But when you do this, you're reminded that these guys are more than just a uniform. They're people.

It was difficult getting all of the subjects and making the arrangements. Once we got a hold of them, they were great. But the higher the profile, the harder it was to arrange. Sometimes you had to go through layers of people just to reach them.
