David Thomas, former longhorn tight end, served as grand marshal for the Texas Independence Day Parade on March 6 in Austin, Texas.
Last month Thomas, a professional football player for the New Orleans Saints, experienced every boy's childhood dream of winning the Super Bowl.
This isn't the first time for Thomas to be apart of a championship team.
Thomas was a team captain for The University of Texas Longhorn football team who won the 2005 National Championship title game against The University of Southern California.
While in Austin,Texas, this weekend Thomas attended a spring football practice and visited with players and coaches.
I may not know everything about Texas football, but I do believe that Thomas is a positive role model for current students and alumnus of The University of Texas at Austin.
After we leave the 40 acres and pursue our dreams it's important to remember the place that opened so many doors for us.
Thomas acknowledges by saying, "[We] really appreciate all that The University has done for us and it's always fun to get back here."
When asked about the support he received from Longhorn coaches and players Thomas said, " I think that's a great testament to how much we all care about The University of Texas and how much coach Brown and the program care of us and cares about us."
Thomas holds The University of Texas Longhorn football record as the all-time leader in receptions, yards, and touchdowns for a tight end.
