Here in Idaho, we do things a little differently. Take it from Dallas Cowboys star defensive player, and Idaho native, Leighton Vander Esch.
Idaho native Leighton Vander Esch has quite a story. He grew up in Riggins, where he played eight-man football for Salmon River High School. After winning a couple state championships and graduating, Leighton headed south to Boise. After just a couple seasons on the blue turf, he went from walk-on to defensive player of the year – making him one of the top prospects in college football. Not long after that, Dallas came calling and the rest is history.
Leighton’s hard work and rules to live by have gotten him to where he is today. He has many rules he follows—Stay humble. Work hard. Always wear a shirt when frying bacon. But the most important rule Leighton lives by is always “Buckle up.” Because he knows that seat belts save lives—seatbelts increase your odds of survival by nearly 50%.
