- <p> Denver Broncos head coach Dan Reeves had two worries about
- Kenny Walker, his eighth-round pick in this year's N.F.L. draft--that he was too small, and that he was deaf. Neither worry
- proved founded. Walker bulked up and, with the help of an
- interpreter who attends practices and games, has become only the
- second deaf athlete to play in the N.F.L. "He has a tremendous
- desire to work," says Reeves. The 6-ft. 3-in., 260-lb. defensive
- end has also become a favorite of fans and teammates. Says
- Reeves: "Everybody seems to have a love for him."
