Quote:Here are a few takeaways:

1. NFL players almost always have to be on guard and while some still grasped tightly to their public relations attaché on Wednesday, so many were open and freely mingling with the troops. Much of the evening allowed for a no-holds-barred autograph session, and one of my favorite moments was watching Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert walk around with a helmet which he used to collect autographs of his own -- from the military personnel on site.

"It was awesome because a lot of them were surprised," Eifert told Around The NFL. "They're the real superstars. Honestly, the stuff they do, the sacrifices they make so that we can do our jobs -- it's unlike any other. I don't have the courage to do that stuff and so being able to talk to them was pretty cool."

Such a cool guy.
