Story # 60 Ryan Harris

"I was in the social studies class and the teacher was talking about

Islam. It really cloned to me, the foundations of peace and

understanding. It may not be for other people and that's fine."

Ryan Harris, the player in the Denver Broncos, reverted to Islam at

the young age of eight when he was taught about Islam in the social

studies class. Being born into a Unitarian family made him find

similarities between Islam and his original belief.

Before finding his faith, he was raised in the church of Unitarian

Universalism, at Unity Church Unitarian in St. Paul. In the summer

before attending Notre Dame, Harris was featured on the MTV Show True

Life in a documentary entitled "I Want the Perfect Body." Harris was

drafted by the Denver Broncos as a 3rd round pick (70th overall) in

the 2007 NFL draft

Now, Harris is thinking of pursuing a career in politics, which he

thinks is a great platform that affects a lot of peoples' lives.
