Leah Still to Conduct Coin Toss At Temple's Spring Game

Leah Still, the daughter of Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still, has become somewhat of a national figure ever since news of her struggle against a rare form of pediatric cancer became news last season. In March Devon announced on Instagram that Leah's cancer was in remission. She is still under careful medical supervision, but the future is looking pretty good.

On Saturday when Temple takes the field for its spring game Leah will be conducting the coin flip prior to kickoff.

Devon is a Penn State grad, but while Leah was being treated in Philadelphia he often worked out at Temple where a couple of his former coaches now work.

"He has almost been kind of part of our building," Temple coach Matt Rhule told the Inquirer. "He is not here every day, but he is here enough and the players have a tremendous amount of respect for what he has done on the field both in college and the pros. But more importantly he is everything you want our players to see about being a father, being dedicated and loving people when they need it."

The game is scheduled for 1 PM ET, but is not going to be broadcast.
