Today, I found that Isaac Redman has retired from the NFL because of a spinal cord injury.

Truly sad news.
It was absolutely beautiful, watching Redman run, with the heart and desire in which he did it.
Many of us in Steeler Nation, loved the way Redman ran the football. It was as if he also carried, Steelers fan's fond memories of smash mouth football. Because whenever he carried, those memories of ours were revived, and brought back into focus. Time after time, he'd run, and we would remember our dominate running game, from years past.
We loved Redman for the way he ran, and for what that represented to us.
Thank you Isaac Redman. Your contributions to Steelers football, go far beyond your stats.
Appreciate that he took the time, after that training camp practice in 2010, to sign his glove for me too!
Best wishes to you Isaac Redman, and thanks for all, of those memories.
