[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 1090419, member: 6578"] It is no secret Rome may hold my admiration and be likely my favorite player the Packers have added to the roster over the last decade. From the jump of when he caught my eye in my pre-draft scouting, to asking questions, deep diving on what made this QUIET but dominate WR tick....the more I learned the more I was infatuated by him and grew not just to like his game but the man inside that helmet. It's an odd feeling when you get to a point where you feel like you know, admire and respect someone you've never met. While we all sat in disbelief at the collapse in Chicago...there was a moment where the camera in a pan out when it ended that I caught Romeo just standing there. The stillness of which his body stood there motionless was almost like in a wave it all hit him and all he could do was stand. That moment for me, a massive Doubs fan - stung deeper than the loss in many ways. If this is the end. If this is where sadly the road we are currently on ends - thank you! Thank you for yet again proving to so many doubters and skeptics that you belong; and illustrating to some kid surrounded by chaos, gangs, murders and more - the escape is possible. You saw first hand what the wrong choices could do to a dream and the trajectory of a young man; Jordan Patterson....Rob...gone. You went through so much and never lost focus, just kept trying to stack those "1 percent" days - a perspective so many could use. Tyler Dunne in his incredible piece towards the end I think puts it best[I] "One day, he’ll lift up his head and appreciate what this day-to-day patience has provided. He’ll realize his rise convinced kids in South Central not to hang with that gang the first time, let alone a third or fifth. They’ll envision a different future before it’s too late and lock into the present..."
