After appearing in a Duracell commercial that covered his journey of becoming the first legally deaf offensive player in the NFL, Derrick Coleman has become an instant inspiration to those with hearing loss.

The inspiration he is to one little girl has gone viral after she wrote a letter to him that her Dad sent via Twitter. His response will make your heart melt.
“Even though we wear hearing aids, we can still accomplish our goals and dreams!”
Thank Derrick for being a great inspiration and role model! Go Hawks!
