Hometown Heroes: Fred Warner

Fred Warner's path to NFL began in San Marcos, CA, where his Panamanian and Mexican roots helped push him towards his goal of playing professional football. Now a star with the 49ers, Warner looks back on the sacrifices he and his family made to help him make his dream a reality.

These people, these places, these journeys, this is Por La Cultura.

Being able to represent Colombia in America means a lot to Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Upholding the legacy of the Gonzalez name means even more to the rookie with big dreams and an athletic bloodline.

Culture has always meant everything to Alijah Vera-Tucker. The Mexican-American lineman is grateful for his heritage and honored to represent his family and all the people of Mexico every time he takes the field.
