My friends Riley Walker and Efrin Stewart have spent a lot of time over the years coaching little guys football players in the Chattanooga area. The two have been outstanding leaders of the Tyner Bills and now Brainerd Bills organization.
This week I was moving some files around to get more room to start on stories for the 2008 Tennessee Football magazine. During my shuffling I ran across a document listing players who came through that organization and went on to play college and pro football.
I have been told that this is not a complete list. However, this is impressive.
I just wanted to take time on a rainy day to recognize Walker and Stewart for the efforts they have made that have changed lives.
