    Last night. Apparently he went to the hospital to tell her he had been drafted and she passed later in the evening. What should have been one of the best days of his life is suddenly one of the worst. Feel terrible for the guy

    That may possibly have been it

    My wife worked hospice and many times one would pass when the concern was gone

    He has to be relatively successful the first year.

    I don't know why we need to have a tragedy backstory for a good sports movie these days. Old ones were, small town kid makes it to Bigs and becomes a legend. Now it has to be overcame death, disease, poverty, addiction, etc.

    Wow I had tears in my eyes watching Rich Eisen's tribute to Harmon's mom. I am really going to root for this young man to have a great career.

    What a tearjerker set of circumstances. Read that she'd been in a bad way for quite a while after suffering a number of strokes and had been on life-support. Hope he gets through it OK and uses it as even more motivation to excel. Prayers to you young man.

    Can't imagine that kind of heartbreak on the heels of one of the biggest events in your life.

    Thoughts and condolences to him, and all in his family.

    Being that he appears to be of great character, it might turn into look out NFL if he dedicates his career to her. Condolences to the kid.

    That is tough. He achieves his dream and loses his mother at the same time. Very sad.

    I hope she was able to see and hear his name get called. I know he got to tell her himself and that's huge.
