Lucas: Linwan Euwell Completes Amazing Comeback

Posted Oct 29, 2008
"There were plenty of days when I'd wake up in the morning and think, 'Is this worth it?'" says Euwell. "I felt like every time I took a step forward I would take two steps back. I could have taken a medical hardship and called it quits. But every time that happened, my grandma would call me and tell me to keep the faith. And I knew that if it hurt, I had to push through the pain." Every day, he recited Philippians 4:13. And every day, he drew a little closer to becoming a college football player again.
