He made his CFL debut last weekend with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and, on his very first snap, he tossed a touchdown pass.  What a start for what many are hoping is a wonderful, professional football career.

 

We're learning more about quarterback Keith Price this week as reporters spend some time talking to him and introducing us to him.

 

He did some growing up in Compton, California.  It's next door to downtown Los Angeles where the youth join gangs to survive.

 

We've also learned about a special relationship Price has with Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon.  The young man had never met Moon, who also played his college ball with the University of Washington Huskies, but learned that Moon had funded his entire collegiate career when he saw his name on his donor card.  They're friends now.

 

It's the kind of underdog story sports fans love and I'm one of them.

 

I hope Keith Price becomes our number one quarterback and leads us to a championship one day.  He's already capturing our hearts.
