NBC -- David Penton is a freshman defensive lineman at Eagle's View Academy in Jacksonville, Florida.
He's only played a handful of snaps this season, but he's still an inspiration to anyone who sees him on the field.
Because of a birth defect, Penton had both of his legs amputated above the knee when he was just one-year-old.
Despite his limitations, Penton, now 15, is a member of the Warriors football team. David has gotten in for a few plays in each of Eagle's View's first two games this season.
As you can imagine, the crowd and the players on the sideline go wild when #66 enters the game because he is living proof that almost every obstacle can be overcome with perseverance and determination.
