Javelina alumnus Roberto Garza, now a guard with the Chicago Bears, is one of only approximately 20 players of Hispanic heritage in the 1,700-player NFL. He records a weekly segment in Spanish to explain the fundamentals of American football on the Spanish-language Telemundo network, because, he says, he feels a sense of responsibility to open this particular door to people who share his background. A story profiling Garza and his commitment to being a good role model is posted to KGBT-TV’s web site at http://www.team4news.com/
