    This kid is a diamond in the rough. Can he hear play calls or verbal communication by the team? No. But that also means he can't hear fans of opposing players trying to get in his head. He's the perfect player because he just plays his game and doesn't listen to anyone talking bad about him.

      Actually, no. When a person is a Deaf, their eyes become superior comparing to others who is able to hear and their perspective goes very wide so that they would be aware of their surrounding. Studies have proven that, you can find plenty of research online.

    this is such an amazing story, I'm just wondering how the snap count is handled when he's in the game. probably a silent count but in the video it showed the QB yelling the snap count so I'm not sure?
