He won an award for philanthropy among NFL players for his "Home for the Holidays" program that has helped 74 single parents buy their first homes by giving them down payments and furnishings to start them off.

The award of $25,000 went to his Warrick Dunn Foundation that he started in his 1997 rookie season."

Can a private liberal-arts school from down Mayberry R.F.D. way... actually advance behind a puberty-faced 6 foot 2 inch shooter to the almighty Elite Eight in NCAA's March Madness?"
