Liberty Represent'n

Sam Gado. Learn that name.



Today Sam Gado showed up on the radar in the NFL. He is a LU Alum in his Rookie season. He started the season on the practice squad for the Kansas City Cheifs. He was recently picked up by Green Bay who have had several injuries recently. Today the running back in front of him fumbled the ball which caused the coach to call Sam's number who previously had 1 carry for 8 yards.

Sam made the most of this opportunity and the 5'10" running back from Liberty University started to get noticed first by the announcers on the game and then later by Chris Burman fromESPN's Sports Center.

Sam's page on the Green Bay site.


This doesn't get me excited because LU is a great Football school or because Sam played like a Pro-bowler... it gets me pumed because there is God's had moving this guy into position. He didn't even start for some of his tenure at Liberty and yet God has him making waves. Liberty is an amazing school. The more guys like Sam Gado get out there the better.

Last Liberty guy I personally remember in the NFL is Eric Green. Not a good one to remember :)

Yeah I saw that yesterday and I was like " I had no idea LU had any guys good enough for the NFL...ever." I'm glad for the guy, too bad Green bay is terrible this year. Way to represent T-Wil

Sam won the Luke 2:52 award his senior year here at Liberty Univ. Football. It's the most prestigious award given to a Football student-athlete because of their genuine walk with the Lord. Sam is undoubtedly and unashamedly a follower of Jesus Christ. I know because I work at Liberty Football and am so very proud of Sam as well as the rest of the staff. "...and Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man." - Luke 2:52 That's our Sam!! -MzzBev
