If you are a football fan, perhaps you have heard about the deaf football player Kenny Walker. Walker, who became deaf at two from meningitis, had a short, but interesting football career. First he was an All-American player on the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. Then was picked up by the Denver Broncos whom he played for for a few years before being released. He had a brief stint with the Canadian Football League before retiring from football. After he retired from football, Walker became a football coach at the Iowa School for the Deaf.
