TriMet News: (VIDEO) With ‘Dear 44,’ NFL linebacker Brennan Scarlett pays tribute to TriMet and the city he loves

NFL linebacker Brennan Scarlett, wearing a moss-colored hoodie, stands beneath the Line 44-Capitol Hwy/Mocks Crest stop at the corner of North Albina Street and North Rosa Parks Way like he has countless times before.

It allowed him to connect with other kids outside his neighborhood and participate in activities that were as inclusive as the bus itself. More.
