Read Jacoby Brissett’s heartfelt thank-you letter to Barack Obama

“Thank you for blazing a trail, but for more than that, for leaving a paved road behind you for others to climb on.”

Third-string quarterback Jacoby Brissett used the Patriots’ White House visit Wednesday as an opportunity to write a thank-you letter to former President Barack Obama.

Brissett posted his letter to Instagram, along with a photo of himself in front of a picture of Obama.

“Honestly, I don’t know enough about politics to judge what was good or bad,” he wrote, “but I want you to know that when you said ‘Yes We Can’ – a young man dreaming a dream from rough circumstances in Florida heard you.”

Now, kids from my community – and my future children – will know that there is no dream too big – even they could be the President of the United States,” Brissett later added in the letter.
