NFL Films did a great piece on D3football.com All-America quarterback Zamir Amin back in 2001. It’s back on the NFL’s Web site.

I didn’t even know this video clip existed until I saw it this afternoon.

Amin was a two-time All-American at Menlo, born in Afghanistan but moved to the USA as a child. The piece focuses on him and Menlo in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. It is well worth the six minutes, 52 seconds to watch (plus whatever time it takes to download).

The graphics have been redone since it was originally aired, since Menlo receiver Nate Jackson is identified as a Denver Bronco.

Also worth revisiting is Mark Simon’s feature story on Amin and Jackson, which ran the week before the attacks.
