RunInRed 16,404 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 How cool? OK, Nick Ruffin already had a devoted fan in our household, but it went to a new level today. After fan day, Owen challenged Nick to a foot race on the practice field. That alone made his day. But, about an hour later, we were standing on College Street when Nick happened to drive by and see us. He stopped and presented Owen with his cleats as a prize for winning the race. Owen is over the moon. What a fine young man on a great football program. #wareagle @low_life19 #auburn - [via @chattmr @annakchatt] A post shared by AUFAMILY (@_aufamily) on Aug 22, 2017 at 7:02pm PDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,110 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I have always liked Ruffin. I also think he will be a big contributor for us this fall. Put on some good weight this offseason too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82be 14,423 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 That's awesome. Nick Ruffin now has a fan for life. That little guy will never forget that gesture. The best thing about this is that he could have passed them by but instead went the extra mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Everything that is good about college athletics. Just completely selfless...Ruffin's family is to be thanked. May not ever play a down in the NFL but I were a betting man I'd bet big he'll be successful, and an awesome father. Thanks RIR for posting.
