per Fox 9 (video link below):
Last weekend, doctors amputated "Grandpa Ozzie's" leg below the knee due to diabetes. It was his second surgery this season.
"He's always been that one I've been able to talk to and hang out with," Maxx Williams explained. "Me and him became really close, especially when I was in high school."
Both have fond memories of tossing the old pigskin around.
"He ran deep and I threw them all day," Moonen recalled. "Oh God, did we have some fun days doing that. It's unreal."
Although he tries to keep his head in the game, Maxx Williams concedes his heart is still with his family.
"I think just having that bond with my grandpa does keep it in my head a little bit, but when game time comes around, I know he'd be really mad at me if I let it bother me," he said.
