FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — O.J. Brigance is going back to the Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens as a model of toughness and perseverance.
On Sunday, confined to a wheelchair as he battles Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, the former Baltimore linebacker presented the Lamar Hunt trophy to the team after it beat the New England Patriots 28-13 for the AFC championship on Sunday.
Using a communication device that translates his thoughts, Brigance, now a senior advisor to player development for the Ravens, had this to say:
“Congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens. Your resiliency has outlasted your adversity. You are the AFC champions. You are my mighty men. With God, all things are possible.”
