Aidan has been volunteering since high school.

Terrific lunch on Saturday at Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch Restaurant in Water Tower Place with 2025 Fred Mitchell Award winner Aidan Ellison from North Central College. Aidan was joined by his parents and girlfriend as he placed a replica of his trophy in the Chicago Sports Museum display case. Then FMA chairman Matt Cotiguala and I met him at Clark and Addison where the Cubs posted a congratulatory message on the Wrigley Field video board. Aidan will officially be honored on Monday during the National Football Foundation ceremony at Halas Hall.

Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks for winning the Super Bowl over the Patriots Sunday night. I am especially happy for Seahawks kicker Jason Myers for setting a Super Bowl record with five field goals and 17 points for the game. Myers was on the Watch List for the Fred Mitchell Award in 2012 out of tiny Marist University in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. After going undrafted, he is now the Seahawks franchise's all-time leader in field goals.
