For most of his life Denver Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas has only been able to see his mother and grandmother in prison, but they are inspiring him for Sunday's Super Bowl.
Katina Smith, his mother, and Minnie Pearl Thomas, his grandmother, will be watching from a federal minimum security prison in Tallahassee, Florida, when Thomas and his teammates face the Seattle Seahawks in suburban New York in the National Football League championship spectacle.
"That drives me more, to know that they are in there and they are watching me," Thomas said. "I try to go out there and play my best because they are going to talk about it to the people in the jailhouse."
