Houston Texans rookie DE Conner Barwin conquers deafness

[deafelite08]

A nice feel good story about Barwin's battle to overcome deafness. I never knew he had hearing issues until this article. Let's all hope he can succeed in the NFL as he has throughout his life.

Doctors told them Connor’s right ear was easily correctable with minor surgery and tubes. His left ear was a different story. He had a benign tumor wrapped like a vine around the inside of his ear. It would have to be removed piece by piece over the course of several surgeries, and they would need to put in prosthesis.
