NFL Star Honors Mom Blinded In Acid Attack After Every Touchdown deandrehopkins
Hopkins was just a kid at the time of the attack and says the tradition started as a “way of staying close to her. Whenever I score a touchdown or do something, I try to make sure she gets the ball so she can feel me,” he said. He credits much of his work ethic to his mom, who held down two jobs, one during the day and the other at night.
“It’s helped me learn a lot, about life, about how to treat a woman,” he said of his mom’s situation. “It’s helped me become a man.” Greenlee sits in the same spot and goes to every single game, which she’s done far before Hopkins landed in the NFL. “It goes back to when I got the courage up when he was in junior high,” she explains. “I remember him saying, ‘I just want you to be there.’ So if I’m there, and I’m present, and I’m alive… that’s ultimately all he wants.
She continued: “I’ve not always been your typical role-model mother, and he still respects me enough to let everybody see him give me that ball,” she said. “That ball symbolizes so much more than people ever could understand.”
