Travis Frederick’s fight against childhood hunger reached new levels during the coronavirus pandemic

2021 marks the second season that the Dallas Cowboys are entering with Travis Frederick officially having retired from the NFL, and there is no question that they miss their former center.

Frederick was among the league’s best centers during his time in the NFL. He missed the 2018 season after it was revealed that he had Guillain-Barré syndrome (an autoimmune disease that affects the nervous system), and he persevered to the point that he returned in 2019 before ultimately calling it a career.

As we all know, Travis was an incredible football player but while every snap was happening, while every block was being perfect executed, he was also accomplishing a lot off of the field.
