Palisade Standout Athlete Not Giving Up Dream
Jesse Kirstatter doesn't give up easily. Especially when it comes to living his dream of playing pro football.
Kirstatter just finished up his third season playing professional football in France, posting MVP-like stats. In fact, he was voted the Most Valuable Defensive Player. Not bad for a kid from a place known more for peaches than their sports teams.
Jesse is now back in Colorado and he and told KKCO that ever since he was a little kid his dream was to play for the Denver Broncos. They may be interested because Jesse can also play offense as well as show his MVP talents on the defensive side of the ball. He says his versatility should be very appealing to any teams interested.
Let's let Jesse know that we are all rooting for him. We wish him nothing but the best of luck!
