THANKSGIVING LINE
ATHLETES ARE THANKFUL FOR ... My children, my family and my health. We’re pretty lucky and fortunate to live in our country and have healthy children and a good marriage. One of things I’m most thankful for, it’s one of my favorite things, is my daughter (3½-year-old Kate) is to the point where she gets mad at me when I go on the road to play so she’ll quit talking to me. So when I get home it’s like, ‘All right, are you still mad at me?’ ‘No, daddy, I’m not anymore.’ Nothing beats that.” Golfer Kevin Kisner, won the Dean & DeLuca Invitational this year.
I’m thankful for the grace God has shown me by introducing me to my beautiful bride and giving us four beautiful children, ... and use my influence to help positively influence people’s lives, and all that continues to allow me to live out my childhood dream.” Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander
My family, my husband (Nic), the ability to slide, especially because a couple years ago that was in question if I would make it to this point. So much — the opportunities I’ve had to travel the world, my teammates, my coaches, a lot I’m thankful for.” U.S. bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor, referencing a concussion in 2015, the effects of which lasted a year.
It’s crazy to think this is my 10th season in the NFL. It is an honor and a privilege to play the game I love each and every day. However, none of this would ever have been possible if it weren’t for the endless and unconditional love and support from my family. Last, but certainly not least, all praise to the man above for guiding me through this crazy journey and keeping me safe. Not many people get to say they wake up every morning and love what they do, and it is for that reason that I am forever grateful!” 49ers WR Pierre Garçon Compiled by Steve DiMeglio, Rachel Axon, Mike Jones
