1 year later: David Quessenberry is #DQStrong(er)

Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in June of 2014, the offensive lineman was in the early stages of a fight against the disease that he conquered in February of this year. It wiped out any chance of him playing football in his second NFL season, but the lymphoma did nothing to diminish his spirit.

Now, Quessenberry is officially listed on the active/non-football illness list, which means he can't practice or play with his teammates. But he's just a field away, during training camp, working with the team's medical and strength & conditioning staffs.

“I’m running," Quessenberry said on Wednesday.
