He was a damn Good player! But greater as a man!! I remember when he passed! I was a kid around 13 years of age! A true GOD fearing family Man!! Rest in Power to a Legend!! #Forever37
I found this guy when looking up nfl players that died young. I ended up reading about Joe Delaney and was absolutely amazed at the love this dude had for his fellow man. To enter water knowing he couldnt swim in hopes of saving those boys was brave. He knew he probably wouldnt make it out alive, but went in anyways. What a legend!
They are out there, we just hear about the screw ups. I think Jeremy Renner is like this. He was gravely injured last winter while helping a stranded motorist. Last night my husband was watching a show he started where they rehab a fleet of vehicles he bought to be used by communities and non profits that need them. His injury has halted season 2 though. There are genuinely good people out there, I am just so sad the world lost Joe. He truly is the best person I have ever researched. Thanks for watching.
Great choice for a video.. an American Hero! Love your channel.. ❤️! So sorry for his family..that they lost such a wonderful man.. my mom was a lifeguard.. learn to swim..!❤️
Very sad 😭 but really good video thanks for sharing this story I've been a NFL fan my whole life and I've never heard the whole story about Joe Delaney just that he had tragically drowned this great man was a true hero
Thank you Joe. I will see you in heaven brother. Funny thing. I understood every word Joe was saying in the clip with Joe speaking. I am from the Louisiana - Texas border.
Chiefs need to retire his number and prepare a remembrance video in his honor since his story is an incredible one and sets a high bar. He set a rare example of true selflessness among pro athletes and needs recognition.
I watched a video made by Chiefs Nation when researching him, meaning the team had it made. While they haven’t “officially” retired his number I will be very surprised if they ever use it again. There is also a 30 for 30 short about him too I was able to access on the ESPN plus app. Only time I’ve ever used it! It came in a bundle, lol.
@@JuanBenjume I hope you do, I believe Joe Delaney is probably the kindest and most wonderful person I have ever researched. I hope more people learn of him and honor his life.
God bless you 🙏😇❤️thank you for your reply, I will .it touchedy heart knowing someone gave there life for 3 lirtle ones Jesus gave His life too for us. John 3:16
Wow, who knew I wasn’t a big sports fan but this is so interesting. I appreciate this thank you to his family and everybody and him and you bringing this to us.
When he was playing he had some relitives here in Chetopa Kansas , the Woodsons.I watched Joe on tv and OJ and those guys had nothing on this guy and on top of that he was a hero and a class act.
Same (graduated H.S. in '81). Even tho a CFL fan, I did follow a fair bit of NFL too, then. I could NEVER call an athlete a 'hero' for athletic accomplishments. This man was a true hero.
Too bad instead of stupid letters from presidents & some of the awards & memorials everyone hadn't sent cheques with a 37 on it & as many Zeros afterwards as they could afford!!! $37 - $37,000 - 370,000 etc!!! Sure would have helped his wife & Daughters a heck of a lot more!!! 😢❤😢❤😢❤
It’s possible people did, but that information wasn’t available for me to know. I wondered if the NFL did anything for his family, again I don’t know. Either way this was so sad 😭. I had never heard of him, but when I travel I always Google who might be buried nearby. He was buried 15 minutes from my hotel when I went to Gibsland. I’m so glad I now know his story and could share it.
Yes maybe some did but logic says it couldn't have been any great amount total or she wouldn't have had to sell the house. It was certainly a nice one but not like he'd financed a million dollar mansion before he even got the big contract he was certainly going to get because he was a fantastic player. Thanks for sharing his story and I wish his widow & kids & grandkids etc as much happiness as possible. May he RIP. I sure hope the boy he saved did turn his life around!!! EVERYONE who survives a tragedy like that definitely needs counseling and help!!!
@@firebird_spleen4190 wow, I must have been in a bad mood! Sorry about my response. I’ve been under tremendous stress. I’m deleting my reply, that was rude. My sincerest apologies. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Take care!
I remember Joe Delaney! It was sad, terrifying yet inspirational and courageous. Long Live Joe37!
He was a fantastic football player and an even better human being 👼🏿...
Chiefs and the NFL need to do more to honor him
JOE DELANEY IS AN AMERICAN HERO and will live on FOREVER.🇺🇸 Rest Easy.

I have never been more heartbroken about how a story ended than this one. What a great guy.
Thats a name I haven't heard for a few years

I could NEVER call an athlete a 'hero' for athletic accomplishments.
This man was a true hero.
As a father with kids I understand why he left his kids forever to try help someone else’s just sad all the way around

The pronunciation was butchered.
It’s 15 minutes from me
Pronounced like hawt-in
@@MMorbidI didn’t mean to come off as rude. You did mispronounce it though. It just sounded weird hearing like that. Good video though 👍🏻
