I heard former All Pro tackle Leon Searcy (Steelers, Jaguars, Ravens) on the radio the other day. He was from Orlando and attended The U (Miami) and was a first round pick for Pittsburgh. In his rookie season, he was eating at a nice restaurant when the waiter interrupted him and said a fan would like to meet him. Leon accompanied the waiter back to a private dining room, met the fan who was named Mario, shook a lot of hands and had a lot of pictures taken before returning to his dinner.
Two days later he found out who Mario Lemieux was.
