Marshawn Williams had a sensational freshman season before he tore the ACL in his right knee at Duke. Juice started in 8 of the 9 games he played, rushed for 475 yards on 124 carries (3.8 yards per attempt) and scored 4 touchdowns. A seven-year-old named Alex let Williams know what a bummer a leg injury is.
Juice had ACL surgery on 12/16/14 and is out for spring ball.

That is seven different kinds of awesome.

Saw this earlier on his twitter. It got me right in the feels...
Very cool! It's also very cool that Marshawn acknowledged the letter in a tweet. 42 seems like a great kid.
It was also be very cool if the kid read Twitter. But I doubt it.
Maybe an adult he knows recognized and showed the tweet to him.
This is great! I guess it would be weird if a 33 yr old woman sent him a letter...damn
Or would it? Only one way to find out.

Marshawn looks like the predator in the main pic (not the drawing).
Someone please Photoshop that shit.
