Devon Still Delivers Emotional Speech After Accepting Jimmy V. Perseverance Award for Daughter Leah Still at 2015 ESPYs

The special bond between Leah and Devon Still is recognized in a touching ESPYs tribute.

When Odell Beckham Jr. made that one-handed touchdown catch against the Dallas Cowboys, it was impressive. What LeBron James did practically by himself during the 2015 NBA Finals versus the Golden State Warriors was outstanding. But what Leah Still has done over the past year has been far more incredible.

In June 2014, Leah was diagnosed with cancer and has been fighting ever since with her father Devon right by her side. During the 2015 ESPY Awards, Leah was given the Jimmy V. Perseverance Award. After looking back at her ongoing battle, the Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman walked onto the stage to share some personal heartbreaking stories about their road to remission...together.
