AUBURN, Ala. - When Rudy Ford gets the call this weekend from the NFL, the first person with whom he’ll share the good news won’t be able to congratulate him.
His mother, Terrie, suffered brain damage after a heart attack in the fall of 2013, Ford’s freshman season at Auburn.
“I want to go back home and just give her a big hug,” Ford said. “I’ll speak to her, but I haven’t heard her voice in a long time.”
Ford’s family takes care of his mother at their home in Big Cove, Ala.
