Talking College Football History: Blaise Winter

There are some people in this world that overcome the odds.  This list is small, but our guest this week is on that list.  Blaise Winter played at Syracuse from 1980-1983 and had a nice NFL career.  But, the underlying story is tremendous.  Blaise was born with a cleft palate and tumors in both ears.  He wasn't supposed to amount to much, but he capitalized on every opportunity that came his way.  He was part of the 4-Wheel Drive defense at Syracuse, then was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2nd Round of the 1984 NFL Draft, 35th overall.  He played in the NFL from 1984-1995 while making the All-Rookie team in 1984.  This is an inspiring interview with Blaise Winter, so buckle your seat belts and enjoy the ride.
