In the world of sports, character is often defined not by how an athlete performs at their peak, but by their response to adversity. This has been made evident in the tremendous show of courage demonstrated by Green Bay Packers running back, A.J. Dillon on the football field, as he battled through a personal setback on a very public stage.
On a chilling Monday night that saw the Packers clash with their opponents under the bright lights, Dillon sustained a thumb injury. The initial tremor of concern that passed through the spectators was soon replaced by admiration, as Dillon continued to forge ahead, despite his clear discomfort. It was later revealed that his thumb was in fact, broken.
