Derrick Coleman, the first deaf offensive player in the NFL, spent time the day before the Super Bowl handing out hearing aids to 100 New Yorkers at Yankee Stadium. The event was a “hearing mission” organized by Starkey Hearing Foundation.

The hearing-impaired New Yorkers came from all over the city and were fitted by doctors at the stadium. Coleman met fans, signed autographs, and even got fitted for new hearing devices for himself. Garth Brooks, Larry Fitzgerald, A.J. Green, Barbara Bush and Joe Girardi all also attended the event, among others.

Coleman (along with just about every other member of the Seahawks) had a great Super Bowl, and he was seen making an impact on several special teams plays. Seattle won the game over the Broncos, 43-8.
