Reggie White was a 13-time Pro Bowler, 2-time Defensive player of the year, a Super Bowl champion, and a Hall-of-Famer. The "Minister of Defense" recorded 198 sacks in his career and is one of the best defensive players to ever play in the NFL. But his outspoken nature to boldly proclaim his faith is what separated him from many others. He passed away in 2004, but his life's impact continues to touch people today. He was featured in many issues of Sports Spectrum from over the years.

And yet we'll be more determined not only to share the gospel with them, but also to live the gospel out. And to be able to use our time and resources to help people who are in need. SS: How would you like people to remember you in terms of a football player and a person? Reggie: For people to remember my life, Sarah, and me, as people who loved God. I want people to be able to say to my children, "You know that your mom and dad were a woman and a man after God's heart." I want my grandchildren to be able to say that to their children. That's the legacy I want to leave. I want people to say that Reggie and Sarah were a man and woman of God. That would mean more to me than anything...
