The face of one of the greatest NFL franchises, playing in the biggest spotlight, in the largest media market, with the most attention and media scrutiny has been a patron saint.

He prepares hard, he works hard, and he plays the game right. Rarely does he show emotion and never does he get into it with all of his naysayers and non-believers.
