Geocache Description:


John Bradley Dusek (born December 13, 1950 in Temple, Texas) is a former American football linebacker for the Washington Redskins in the National Football League from 1974 to 1981. He played college football at Texas A&M University and was drafted in the third round of the 1973 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. Inducted into Texas A&M Hall of Fame 2014. Brad was born in Longview, Texas, in 1950. Being a Texan, he’s no stranger to the game of football; he’s been around it his entire life. His dad was a coach, and Brad started playing flag football in elementary school. Tackle football in junior high paved the way to four years playing at Temple High School, and he was later inducted into the Texas High School Hall of Fame in 2018. Afterward, Brad went on to play at Texas A&M University where he was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 2014. As he was wrapping up his college career, he was drafted by the New England Patriots in the third round of the NFL draft. During training camp, Brad was traded to the Washington Redskins and was a linebacker for them until he retired from professional football in 1982. Brad and his family moved back to Texas, where he shared his love of sports with his four children. Little did they know how much the athletic mentality of their family would prepare them for the road that lay ahead. A New Opponent Brad’s first indication that something was wrong was in the spring of 2017. As an athlete, Brad was no stranger to pain. “When you play sports you get hurt. You learn what pain is. You deal with it,” he says. But this was different. Weakness on the left side of his body progressed until his leg muscles were deteriorating and his knee was hyperextending. It affected his gait and his ability to get around. He endured multiple surgeries and saw specialists for a year and a half in pursuit of a diagnosis. Brad went from being able to walk, to walking with a cane, to using a walker, and then a wheelchair.
