AROP WILL REPRESENT TEAM CANADA IN HIS SECOND EVER OLYMPIC GAMES.. AND HE’LL ENTER THE FIELD AS THE FAVORITE. I GOT TO CATCH UP WITH CALLAWAY GRAD AND GREEN BAY PACKERS WIDE RECIEVER MALIK HEATH EARLIER THIS MONTH. HIS ENERGY WAS UNMATCHED.. AND HE WAS REALLY IN HIS ELEMENT GETTING TO HANG OUT WITH THE YOUNG ATHLETES IN THE JACKSON METRO. AND THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING I NOTICED ABOUT HEATH.. IN OUR CONVERSATION. FIRST.. JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND. HEATH STARRED FOR CALLAWAY HIGH SCHOOL BEFORE BALLING OUT FOR BOTH MISSISSIPPI STATE AND OLE MISS. HE WENT UNDRAFTED IN THE 2023 DRAFT.. BUT PROVED HIS METAL IN TRAINING CAMP.. MAKING THE 53 MAN ROSTER. HE WENT ON TO CATCH HIS FIRST CAREER TOUCHDOWN PASS IN HIS ROOKIE CAMPAIGN. BACK TO JACKSON.. WHILE HEATH WAS OUT GIVING HIS TIME AND ENERGY BACK TO THE YOUTH… I NOTICED THE FACE HE WAS WEARING AROUND HIS NECK. WHILE CARRYING HIS WIDE SMILE AND OUTGOING PERSONALITY.. HEATH ALSO CARRIES THE MEMORY OF HIS LATE BROTHER JAMAAL.. WHO WAS KILLED IN A DRIVE BY SHOOTING ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. HE SAYS HE KNOWS HIS BEST FRIEND IS ALWAYS WATCHING OVER HIM <WE DID EVERYTHING TOGETHER EVEN IF I WAS HAVING A BAD GAME HE WOULD JUST CALL AND CHECK UP ON ME TELL ME I DID GOOD AND I JUST WEAR HIM A LOT AROUND MY CHEST BECAUSE HE’S WITH ME AT ALL TIMES BECAUSE I KNOW HE’S WATCHING DOWN ON ME HE PROTECTED ME HE SHIELDED ME THAT’S MY GUARDIAN ANGEL SO
