Derrick Coleman and The Code

Derrick Coleman is the 233 pound fullback for the Seattle Seahawks. He is deaf, and you may have been one of 22 million to see his Duracell commercial on Youtube. On a flight to Seattle recently he saw a young Marine waiting for the rest room. After speaking to him, Derrick offered the soldier his seat in first class. The soldier refused until Derrick insisted, telling him that what he was doing was much more important and difficult than what he was doing. The Code says, “I will display caring and honorable behavior off the field and be a positive influence in my community and world.” Derrick said, “I always say that God blessed me this morning and I can do what I can do.” We all “can do” what we “can do” – but will we? How can Derrick inspire you to “do a good deed daily?”
