I have to say, that really touched me. You could almost feel his thoughts in that little smile... 'I threw the game winning touchdown right into Westbrook's hands last week and he drops it, but this kid throws one up for grabs vs four defenders and Westbrook comes down with it.' Lots of Driskel's problems arise from his own errors, but he also can't ever seem to catch a break. I really like the young man, and I wish it had turned out very differently for him.
