    Gerardo Ramirez of the Texas A&M International University sponsored Gear Up Program, has informed The News Gram that former NFL player TJ Duckett will be in our fair city on Friday to address students at both Eagle Pass High School and CC WInn High School.
Duckett was a first round draft choice of the Atlanta Falcons in the 2002 NFL Draft out of Michigan State where he was part of a very effective backfield there alongside Warrick Dunn and the incomparable Michael Vick from 2003-2005.
    Now retired after stints with the Washington Redskins, the Detroit Lions and the Seattle Seahawks, Duckett has hit the speaking circuit in support of New World Flood, a non-profit organization that believes citizens can be agents of change in their communities by using education and service as a means to sustain the overall welfare of their environment.
According to the mantra of New World Flood, every individual can make a difference in their communities, because a single raindrop is the beginning of any flood.
    Duckett will bring his message to Eagle Pass on Friday at the CC Winn Auditorium and the Eagle Pass High School Gymnasium.
