DANNY WUERFFEL
Danny Wuerffel attended high school in Ft. Walton Beach, FL and played at the University of Florida, winning the Heisman Trophy in 1996. He was drafted by the New Orleans Saints and then played for several NFL teams. He was offered to rejoin to the Washington Redskins and his former college coach, but he said no thanks. Instead he retired from the NFL and returned to New Orleans to work with Desire Street Ministries, in the lower Ninth Ward. He went from making millions to serving in one of New Orleans most dangerous neighborhoods with some of its roughest kids. Some will call that living recklessly or foolishly, but Danny calls it following the Spirit and living out God’s will for His life.
