Meeting a Denver Bronco

Bring a Denver Bronco to School Day?


It was for one of Riley's classmates.  Riley's friend, Kaden, is the little brother of Denver Bronco, Zane Beadles.  Now that Zane's NFL season is over, he came home to visit Utah and one of those stops included Grace Lutheran School and Miss G's 2nd grade class.  Zane is also a former Ute standout.  Most of the kids at Grace are Utes fans by default, which made this visit even more special.  Denver is the closest NFL team to SLC and some of these kids remember seeing Zane play for Utah and have continued to watch him in the NFL.  Kaden is pictured above with his brother Zane.  He came to talk to the kids about what he does for a living.  The kids were able to ask him questions and he talked to them about what it's like to play football in the NFL.  Zane is an offensive lineman who's job it is to protect Tim Tebow.  What a great conversation for kids in a Christian school, huh?  


A happy bunch of second graders posing with Zane Beadles from the Denver Broncos!  This totally made Riley's day!  He talked about meeting Zane the ENTIRE way home from school.  On a side note, last year during our Jog-A-Thon, we were about $500 short of meeting our $13,000 goal.  Thankfully after a call from Jill, Kaden's mom, Zane graciously donated the remaining $500 to meet our goal!  What a great guy!  So glad my kids are able to be exposed to people like Zane.
