Congrats Tyrone! :beer:
This is graduation season around the country, with high school and college students proudly getting diplomas and degrees from high schools, colleges and universities.
One of those who might otherwise be overlooked is very accustomed to being the center of attention, that being former Denver Broncos safety and cornerback Tyrone Braxton.
Tyrone was a star player for the Broncos and has two Super Bowl championship rings from his days with the team, but this weekend he fulfills a promise he made to his mother as a freshman at North Dakota State University, that being to eventually get his college degree. Tyrone graduates this weekend.
He is in the process of starting a new job working with Denver area youth so he cannot walk across the stage in person, but that does not diminish the pride that Tyrone should have in his accomplishment — it is a big deal, and a classy thing to do.
