 Epic Westerns, Genuine Titans, and this comes courtesy of our friends at WKRF. They have an amazing program. Take a Titan to school, we got to tag along with them and see a Titans starter who happens to be a rookie, visit a local elementary school and tell the youngsters all about the value of his education and how it actually factors into his NFL career. Nicholas Petty Freer. It's been a fantastic 2022 for Nicholas Petty Freer. Petty Freer was not only drafted by the Tennessee Titans in last spring's NFL Draft, six months later he's now the team's starting right tackle. Football is a bigger part of MPF's life than it's ever been, but he has not forgotten the lessons that his amazing, resilient mom taught him. After all, the big man calls Loris Petty Freer his hero because of her wisdom, her love and her example. For his mom, everything, and I mean everything, started with school. She knew the importance of academics and she knew what it would allow me to do and what opportunities I'd be able to get if I had a great education. My mom was the first person in my family to ever graduate college, one of the first people to ever graduate high school as well, and when she was having me, that was something that she knew that she wanted to emphasize to me when I grew up. Loris Petty Freer was a senior in high school when Nicholas was born. It was the two of them and his mom set the example. She finished high school and then, with the help of grandparents, she finished college. That's why grades came first when young Nicholas went to school. It was ingrained in him at an early age. Last week, Nicholas Petty Freer tried to pass along the same message to a group of fourth graders. What's up? How y'all doing? What up? What up? What up? What up? What up? What up? What up? What up? Halt, take a Titan to school. Students write in to provide reasons why their school deserves a visit from a Tennessee Titans player. Jameson Frasier did just that, and BGA was selected to receive a visit from NPF. The kids got to take Nicholas to class and learn about catapults, then they got to ask him their questions. Could have some flex move when you tackle somebody. A flex move, well I mean, I don't normally have to make tackle because we don't, we don't get rid of a ball and give it to the other team. But let's say if I pancake somebody, you know, like, you know, just kind of just a little flex like this. One thing that they learned is that to be an NFL player, you have to work out your mind just as much as your body. A lot of guys in the NFL, if you really tested them in terms of like, Hey, how much do you know, not only about their office, but about other things that they learned, like you had to have some sort of attitude to retain and learn information at a very fast pace and a very fast level for you to be able to be at the NFL. Because if you don't, you'll get played out. Petit Freire isn't going to get played out any time soon. His upside seems to be through the roof. And as he becomes a bigger name Titan over the next few years, expect to see him out stressing the value of education to as many kids as possible. I love education. Education is one of the few things that I really want to make sure I put a lot of emphasis into in terms of helping people grow and helping schools develop. I mean, my opportunity for me to go to a school like Berkeley High School was through me being great academically in middle school. And I'm hoping that I'll be able to have opportunities to help kids have that same avenue to go and learn and get an education, get a scholarship and try to become better through academics. Do you guys need help with it? Let me see. Well, we can help them out, James. We're gonna help them out. Come on. Nicholas Petit Freire, thank you, Amy Wells, for that great report. When he came on his pre-draft visit, he might have been the first guy in last year. I knew right away he was the kind of guy you wanted in this building. Well, he's just what an amazing story, first of all, and just what a great role model that his mom is and being able to finish school and make it important and realize and press upon him how important it is. And, you know, there's some times where, you know, we don't have to be as smart, Nick, and we just have to go block the guy. And that is across from you. But it's impressive what he's done just as a rookie so far, stepping in there and being able to be a mainstay for us.
