Props to the NFL for sharing newly signed Colt, Kwity Paye’s life story on social media last night. He’s our new pass rusher who is a force to be reckoned with standing at 6’4″, weighing 272 pounds. Kwity made a name for himself as a standout playing at Michigan. But as you’ll see in this video, when Kwity was a child, he promised his mother that one day he would ‘make it big’ and she would never have to work again. His mother escaped from the war torn country of Liberia. She truly is a saint, working 2 and three jobs as she raised Kwity and his brothers in poor Rhode Island neighborhood. But he worked hard. He was determined to succeed…and succeed he has! Kwity has racked up multiple all conference accolades and is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree. He’s more than proven himself on the field and has been mentoring young players off the field, showing that he’s a true leader. The Colts are damn lucky to have him. They’ve signed him to a four year deal (with possibility of a fifth year). Irsay has to be very pleased with Ballard’s pick in last night’s first round of the draft. Colts fans certainly are~

Named after his grandfather who couldn’t escape Civil War.
Named by his mother who did — twice.
