JOE DELANEY: Hero of the NFL

In 1981, Joe Delaney,a poor man from Haughton, Louisiana, who could run 100 yards in 9.4 seconds was drafted in the second round by the Kansas City Chiefs. Joe was their star running back, leading the Chiefs to their first winning season in ten years. He was 1981’s rookie of the year, started in the Pro Bowl, set four franchise records and was voted team MVP. Joe was also a generous and humble man who cared about the needs of others before himself. This is the story of his life, and heroic death, attempting to save the lives of three drowning boys. He managed to save one. Please watch all of this, share with your friends and family. Time has dimmed the memory of Delaney’s heroic deed. We must remember him, and honor his sacrifice, and perhaps strive to be more like him as a society.
