One day before the 2017 NFL Draft, wide receiver prospects Gehrig Dieter and ArDarius Stewart took the time out of their days to hang out with the troops at Fort Benning (Columbus, GA).
Dieter, a graduate transfer from Bowling Green, and Stewart, a two-year starter for the Tide, are both expected to be taken in this year’s draft after both having standout college careers.

Gehrig and Stewart both took to their public Instagram accounts to show their appreciation for the experience and to the troops:

Stewart: “Had a Great time at Ft. Benning .. so thankful for those fighting for this country.. takes a lot of heart and bravery to do what these strong Women and Men do…”
Dieter: “Awesome experience today touring Fort Benning. Makes you appreciate what our soldiers have to go through to serve our country…”
Two great guys, two great futures. Whichever NFL teams pick them up will be lucky to have them.
