Hamilton (Sept. 13, 2010) - Ron Saul has lived just about every boy’s dream; playing professional football for 13 years and being part of a Super Bowl champion.

His biggest thrill, however, was being named an Academic All-America at Michigan State and obtaining an education that has allowed him to lead a successful life outside football.

That’s what Saul told the students of Hamilton Elementary on Friday, September 10th, as part of the NFL’s Back to Football Friday. NFL teams are offering prizes to schools that show exceptional spirit prior to their team’s opening kickoff (in the case of Hamilton, Sunday night’s Redskins game with Dallas).
