The Houston Texans worked out defensive tackle Devon Still, the Penn State product whose daughter captured hearts with her remarkable survivor story

Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still worked out for the Houston Texans on Tuesday, the day which amounts to the final big tryout day of the 2015 NFL season.

Still gained notoriety when his daughter Leah captured people’s hearts during her brave fight against cancer, in which she was given only a 50 percent chance of beating.

In June, 2014 Leah was diagnosed with stage-four neuroblastoma and the fight became public. In December Devon Still announced the awesome news that young Leah is officially cancer free!

Players all around the NFL showed support for the tough battle a member of their family was going through, and even athletes in other sports reached out to help.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James still has been there for Devon and Leah, even giving a Christmas present this year to the young girl. A signed jersey of LeBron’s with the words “To Leah: You are my hero” was the gift.

Still was released before the season began by the Bengals, but he remained classy thanking the team for always supporting him and his family.

Recently for Still, he also worked out for the Denver Broncos, but was not signed. There is no word if Houston plans to sign the defensive tackle.
