Detroit Lions second-round pick Ennis Rakestraw Jr. dreamed of the NFL at a young age. In fact, there’s written proof of it.
On Sunday night, Rakestraw shared a heartfelt letter to his fourth grade teacher, in which he promises “Mr. Gammon” that if he makes the NFL, he’ll make sure to acknowledge how much of an impact he made.
Here’s the adorable letter, transcribed (with all the cute fourth grade mistakes kept in)
Dear Mr. Gammon
You are the best teacher ever. You always had and have my back and you give me confidence.
