COLUMBIA, Pa. -- The handmade sign stuck with Washington Redskins linebacker Martrell Spaight. Ninth-grader Isaiah Shorter held it up before a game at FedEx Field in December, sharing a message that Spaight couldn’t shake. It’s easy to see why.
"Fighting chemo, but cant keep me from my team.”
Nineteen Redskins autographed Isaiah's sign. But for Spaight, it wasn’t enough just to scribble his name for the youngster decked out in Redskins garb.
“On game day, I’m usually so locked in; you don’t pay attention to the stands or the outside things," Spaight said.
