The kid has so much responsibility on him his entire life. I'm 36 and stories like his let's me know I can do even more with my life. I remember them talking about how he worked in elementary school to help feed his siblings etc.

Great person and player for sure!! So glad he is a Nole and represents his family and Nole Nation so well.

GO NOLES!!!

 

[Candi4Noles]

Amazing kid. Even though he had a tough start, he was raised well to be a responsible adult. So proud for him to be a Nole.

Always great to hear success stories like this one. A great NOLE!

Like Warrick Dunn, taking care of family. Great running backs, greater men.

Freeman is one of many stories that make me proud to be a Nole! It amazes me that he became the man that he did growing up the way that he did.

What an awesome young man! He has taken on a responsibility, he should not have to take, but he is doing it out of love of family. So glad he is a NOLE!

Another great great human being and representative of FSU!

I was out with my wife and friends for Dinner a couple of summers ago at the same time as the Falcons were in Houston for an exhibition game against the Texans. He was eating dinner with several Falcons and as he was leaving I gave him a tomahawk chop. He came over to our table and proceeded to say hello to all of us and talk as the other players waited for him. My wife had a new I phone and wasn't sure how to set it up for pictures and he proceeded to set it up for her and let her snap a few pics. As polite as any young man that I've ever met. He will always be one of our favorite Noles!!

I love seeing this. He knows how much work it took to be successful and I am glad he has the chance now to help his family. Great story.

What comes around goes around, he will be rewarded in many ways for taking on this responsibility.

Thanks BRKRL5,
Awesome article about a great Nole. Special player and even a better man. Giving siblings the tools to have success, not just throwing cash at them. From a 0 star player, to changing his family's lives, for generations. Great Seminole story.

 

[GA.NOLE]

Love Freeman, just a great person. One of my favorite Noles, right next to Dunn. Great story his life has been .

 

[PANole1]

I love that he's giving them an opportunity for success and not just throwing money at them with material things that they'll quickly burn thru.

Another Nole favorite of mine. Right up there with Dunn and others.

 

[thinkingnole]

He makes all of us proud.

I could see him eventually winning a Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.

As Jimbo says, "a great player and an even better person".

Jimbo calls him perhaps the greatest person he has ever been around.
