Kirkland, Wash. — ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ has announced that Brock Huard will be this year’s guest speaker for the 6th Annual Eagle Hall of Fame Benefit on Thursday, March 31, 2016.
Explore pro sports and faith as Huard shares stories from his former NFL days (quarterback, Seattle Seahawks ’99–’01; Indianapolis Colts ’02–’03) and his current work as sports commentator for ESPN and radio co-host of The Brock and Salk Show. Huard has also served on the charitable boards of Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Pro Athletes Outreach.
President Joseph Castleberry stated, "Brock Huard is a perfect speaker for our Hall of Fame event. He understands sports from the inside as a truly world-class athlete, he's a first rate communicator who can articulate what he knows, and his understanding has been thoroughly enriched by the kind of personal spirituality that rises when great people engage with great competition. And he's got a great sense of humor, too!"
