With Albert Breer on vacation, we have guest columnists filling in for his Monday Morning Quarterback column. Check out last week’s piece, co-written by twin brothers and New England Patriots teammates Devin and Jason McCourty. Today’s guest columnist is DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the NFLPA.

This MMQB column is about the legacy of Congressman John Lewis and what he still means for our country. It is also about why sports, those blessed to be a part of them and those who profess to love them, have to decide that they fit within a larger story of a country that has aspired to be great since protestors tossed tea into the Boston Harbor.
