I was in line getting a beer, I turned around and saw this couple with Grant Irons buttons all over their clothes. Very nice people as well.

You knew Grant Irons was a great guy

lead to further damage. When he came in I think he was a very good prospect, just had some tough luck.
He's at Oakland this year...

Not seeing a whole lot of playing time, only 3 tackles on the year. I thought he was done with football, too, but then heard his name on the radio a few weekends ago. Good for him - he's a really great guy.
Grant is playing
