One of the all-time great redemption stories and classic case studies in sticking it out through adversity is that of Jason Bean. In an era when so many are so quick to seek greener pastures when things don’t break their way, Jason did just the opposite.
Thanks to a strong brotherhood with his Kansas teammates, a truly special KU football culture and a coaching staff he believed in as much as they did him, Bean elected to come back and try to change the narrative on his time at Kansas. And, my oh my, did he ever rewrite his legacy.
He never could have known it would end up quite like this, but all that hard work, resilience and grit wound up paying off far greater than anyone could have imagined. Critics answered. Narrative changed. Legacy cemented.
Let’s all tip our caps to Jason Bean, not only tonight’s MVP, but now the blueprint for the digging in when the going gets tough, and ultimately preserving in the end.
