There are athletes in this world who are good at what they do: And then, there are athletes who are good to the world as well. Chris Spielman is just that person. Not only is he a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, and regarded as one of the best college linebackers of his time, but he is also a cancer warrior – continuing the fight that he and his late wife Stefanie started after her first diagnosis. They started a Fund together after her diagnosis that has currently raised over $15.4M for breast cancer research. He discovered his biggest opponent in life wasn’t a hard-hitting football player, but rather the difficult fight against cancer. He is currently an ESPN College Football Analyst and a Professional Speaker. Chris’ success wasn’t easy, but it came from the life order that he still follows today: faith, family and community. Chris was a 2 time All-American with The Ohio State Buckeyes, and an 11-year NFL star who played for the Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills and the Cleveland Browns…he represented the Lions in four Pro Bowls, and was named the team’s defensive MVP in 1993 and 1994. With all that he still has the energy to join us today! The Niswonger proudly welcomes Chris Spielman.
