ESPN is reporting that Rio Hondo native Roberto Garza is one of 19 Latinos playing in the NFL.

The Rio Grande Valley native is featured in a story on the cable sports network's website as part of Hispanic Heritage Month.

The story and interview with the Chicago Bears running back talks about growing up in Rio Hondo and how he overcame people telling he would never play for the NFL.
