  1. Warrick Dunn is a real good role model to the Black Nation in the U.S and bryond..I wish most successful Black Americans could take a leaf from his book and plough back to their less fortunate Communities, instead of ” living it up” and end up losing it all in the brutal manner in which they do. A real role model and philanthropist of note, this Warrick Dunn and may the living God continues to bless you , Sir.
