Darrell Green is short.
He played in the NFL for 20 years.
He has led a life of service.
The American Red Cross first showed him what service means when it “raised him” as a young man in his 20s (he gave out coffee and donuts at blood drives).
“The Red Cross showed me what service is. It gave me a foundation.”
He stressed that sometimes it’s important to keep doing the same old strokes. As a football player, he went out for 20 years and stood on the end of the defensive line and hit the 350 lb man running at him. Over and over. He said it was boring, but it had to be done so that the team would have a chance at winning.
“Do what you know is right over and over and over. Keep true to your mission, even when times are tough.”
