The Darrent Williams Memorial Teen Center is set to open next Thursday, but today the Boys and Girls Club will unveil the large Darrent Williams statue that will be displayed in front of the building. Head Coach Mike Shanahan and several players are expected to be in attendance.

When asked about the statue, Broncos cornerback Domonique Foxworth had this to say:

“I’m proud of what’s come out of this situation. It’s tremendous to think that what’s become of Darrent’s life was much more positive than one negative event…. A lot of times when a tragedy like that happens, a month later, everybody forgets and moves on. I’m proud of this organization and this city for not moving on, for standing behind this, for making it happen.”

In addition to the statue unveiling today and the grand opening of the Teen Center next Thursday, Darrent’s home town of Fort Worth, Texas, will declare June 14 Darrent Williams Day in honor of their fallen citizen. Also, Williams’ mother Rosalind is starting a new charitable foundation in Darrent’s name after discovering one of her son’s notebooks. She’s asking NFL players from all 32 teams to donate a piece of sports memorabilia for a silent auction.

UPDATE – The episode will now air on Friday, April 11.

Jay Cutler‘s recent escapades with the Harlem Globetrotters will be featured on the NFL Network Thursday, according to a Denver Broncos press release. Cutler hosted 125 kids to a day of fun and games last Saturday, April 5, on behalf of his foundation, The Jay Cutler Foundation. His organization aims at helping at-risk youth overcome obstacles, graduate from high school, and continue on in their educational careers.

On his foundation’s web site, Cutler stated that he was excited for the opportunity.

“The Harlem Globetrotters have been positive role models for the youth of the world for more than eight decades. I am thrilled to give kids in the Denver area this unique opportunity to see these spectacular athletes perform a show they will remember for a lifetime.”
