Awful accident taught Broncos draft pick Irving what's most important to him

Most people would try to forget the worst, most painful day of their lives. Not Nate Irving. The Broncos' third-round draft pick tattooed a reminder on his left forearm — a large shape of a cross.
It was in the wee hours of June 28, 2009, when Irving, then a junior linebacker at North Carolina State, fell asleep while driving back to Raleigh from his parents' home in Wallace, N.C. Irving's green sport-utility vehicle went off a highway, flipped at least once, struck two trees and landed in a ditch.
It was at least 90 minutes before Irving was discovered and then rushed to a hospital.

If you go read the rest of the story there's some stuff what he did this year on the field this past season at N.C. State.
