Derrick Coleman（德里克·科尔曼）
2012级  无人能挡的全美橄榄球联盟后卫  超级杯冠军
他从不采纳“做不到”的建议

小学的时候，德里克·科尔曼的听力有些问题，一个与众不同的孩子。有些人认为他不能打橄榄球，但是科尔曼却不这么认为。他坚持不懈地练习，高中时他成为明星后卫，为自己赢得UCLA的奖学金。在UCLA，他打了48场比赛，打出19个触地得分，获得学位，还被任命为all-Pac-12全明星第二阵容成员。但是接下来全美橄榄球联盟（NFL）拒绝了他，科尔曼落选了。同样，他选择忽视，他坚持在小联盟打比赛。在西雅图，科尔曼获得了一份合约，成为NFL史上第一个耳聋球员。从自由球员到超级杯冠军，他只花了一年的时间。

Derrick Coleman
Class of 2012
He never hears the word "No."

In grade school Derrick Coleman was the kid with hearing aids, the kid who was different. Some people thought he couldn’t play football. But Coleman didn’t listen. He persisted. A star fullback in high school, he earned a scholarship to UCLA. As a Bruin he played in 48 games, scored 19 touchdowns, earned his degree and was named second team all-Pac-12. But then the NFL said no: Coleman went undrafted. Still, he didn’t listen. He persisted, playing on scout teams. In Seattle Coleman earned a roster spot, the first legally deaf player on offense in the history of the NFL. From free agent to the Super Bowl, in just a year.
