"I admire that Solomon is a very compassionate, loving, kind human being. He's a better person than I could even imagine him being. Some people wait their whole life to see their favorite player play. I raised mine."
How would you react if you got to see your child play in the NFL? For Chris, it was a dream come true to see his son take the field as a member of the 49ers.
