A pretty fantastic article today by Joseph Santoliquito about Boston College's Mark Herzlich.
You see, Herzlich, a 6-4, 245-pound All-Atlantic Coast Conference linebacker and 2006 Conestoga High graduate, has been medically cleared to play football again after beating Ewing's sarcoma, a pediatric bone and soft-tissue cancer that formed in his left femur, diagnosed last May 12. But Herzlich always knew he would beat it. There was never a doubt.
Yet, he hasn't won. Not in his mind. He won't feel that he completely beat the cancer until he puts on the pads and is playing football again - playing at the high level he's accustomed to. Working toward a goal that at one time was thought to be impossible. His journey back begins when spring football starts for the BC Eagles.
Clemson's offense won't seem so tough this time around.
