White House on Wednesday, third-string quarterback Jacoby Brissett posted a picture to Instagram of him in front of a picture of Barack Obama inside the White House.
The caption was a long letter written by Brissett thanking Obama for what he did for not only the country, but being an inspiration to him. He hopes to meet the former president one day.
It read: Dear Big O,
I am writing you this letter to say thank you. I want to thank you for what you have done for this country outside of politics. Honestly, I dont know enough about politics to judge what was good or bad, but I want you to know that when you said Yes We Can a young man dreaming a dream from rough circumstances in Florida heard you. When you were elected President for the first time I was 16 and I watched you make the never-imaginable, attainable and I heard your cry to inspire hope. I used those words as motivation and saw your achievement as an opportunity and permission to work make my dreams come true too. You were the President of the United States the highest office in the world.
