I saw a players on the sideline last night who I could have swore had his left arm amputated. I think he was #54.

Does anybody know if this is true and what is the story behind it?

Yes, it's true. His name is Seth Mannon. He's a PK.

I think he was actually born without his left arm.

Chances are that if he's in to kick we aren't going to do any flip back passes or direct snaps, but then again the defense would never be expecting it!

Thanks for the info. I think that is amazing to see a person oversome disabilities and perform at a high level. I would love to see him in games if he hasn't yet had the opportunity.

he played receiver in high school. seriously.

he's 6'6" 215 lbs. suppose to be a hell of a kicker too. Miles said before that he expects Seth to see playing time in the near future.

Agree 100%. The kid's an inspiration. A lot of people would go through life feeling sorry for themselves. He seems to have a great attitude if you read any of the interviews.
