GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. -- Cliff Avril and the Seattle Seahawks will be playing in the Super Bowl for the second consecutive year.

Avril is a 2004 graduate of Clay High School. Although he's become an elite pass rusher in the NFL, he was overlooked by plenty of college football programs during the recruiting process.

Now that he's made it big, Cliff hasn't forgotten where he came from. He routinely donates cleats, gloves, and bags to athletes at Clay High. A few years ago, he donated money so the school could purchase a new scoreboard for the football stadium.
