Life experiences fuel Nate Boyer

AUSTIN, Texas -- There's something to be said for those who have spent time working refugee camps in the Darfur region of Sudan. Equal respect must be given to anyone that has spent time coaching autistic children through therapy sessions.

For those brave and skilled enough to join the United States Army Special Forces, also known as the Green Berets, a tip of the hat and endless amounts of gratitude should be bestowed upon you.

But what can be said for the type of selfless, driven individual that has taken time out of their life to accomplish all three of these acts?

Never enough, though we can start by telling 31-year-old Longhorns sophomore snapper Nate Boyer, thank you.

That was the story featured on ESPN.com in September of 2012, when Boyer became a successful walk-on for the Texas Longhorns. He wound up starting at center the next three seasons for Coach Mack Brown.

This morning, the Seattle Seahawks signed the decorated Special Forces (Green Beret) veteran to a free agent contract as a long snapper. That probably makes him my favorite Seahawk of all time -- and the only one I've every remotely liked is Russell Wilson.

Oohah, Sgt. Boyer!

Great post! My cousins are hardcore Seahawks fans so I look forward to talking with them about Boyer.
