The blocked punt that revived New Orleans ❤️‍🩹

Steve Gleason’s blocked punt in the Superdome in 2006 wasn’t just a football play, it was the moment New Orleans got its heartbeat back after Katrina. That single play meant more to a city than most careers ever will, and Saints fans still talk about it like it happened yesterday.

But his real legacy came after football, turning his ALS diagnosis into a mission that’s helped thousands of people live fuller lives through Team Gleason. The man went from a symbol of a city’s recovery to a symbol of resilience for an entire community fighting this disease.

What’s the most powerful legacy you’ve seen an athlete build off the field?
