As I read this post, I started thinking about the need to showcase the good stories. there's not enough coverage of the positive news. We need more of it. I've been a Dunn fan since his FSU days. Little guy playing big... everyday. I agree with the Positive Point system mentioned.

If memory serves me correctly, he donated a large amount of money personally and challenged every NFL player to donate $10,000.00 (again, working from memory here). Point being, he is and always has been a class act, when he retires the NFL should give consideration to naming/renaming an award in his honor.

Sadly, it's those "stolen" TDs that may jeopardize his shot at getting a bust in Canton. He obviously and deservedly commands the respect of the league, his peers and this board.

Perhaps it could be called the Dunn Tracker or the Delaney Tracker. I would find it interesting to see comparisons between teams and the good they do for their communities. Warrick Dunn has never played on a team I root for but his work needs to be broadcast at least as loud as the work of a Pacman Jones. Whattya say PFT? How about a little balance? Who knows, you might start a great competition....... As much as I love the turd watch, I’d love to see PFT also create a point system for the positive and good things players do.

I am not saying that there aren't any other guys who do this, pretty much every guy in the NFL has a charity named after them and they contribute time and money to it. But Dunn truly cares about other people and he knows he ahs the resources to do it. Think of the problems that could be solved around these guys simply by taking a night off from making it rain and putting a roof over someone's head.

And I agree with the rest of the PFT planet in that we would also welcome more stories like this. I do want to know who the turds are in this league, but I'm sure there are others out there with children who would like to show their children who the real role models are.
