The Cincinnati Bengals get it. Late last month, the team kept former Penn State defensive tackle Devon Still on their practice squad to help the 2011 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year pay for his 4-year-old daughter Leah's cancer treatment. Tuesday, the team upped its commitment in announcing it is selling Still's No. 75 jersey ($100), with all proceeds going to support pediatric cancer research and the Cincinnati Children?s Hospital.
Leah was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer (neuroblastoma) in early June.
