Bryan Kehl, Father, Finally Reunite

Kudos to The Free Lance-Star’s Zac Boyer for writing this piece.

Up until about three years ago, Redskins linebacker Bryan Kehl had never met his biological father.

Not that Kehl ever really suffered without a father figured in his life — he had been adopted as an infant by Gary and Nancy Kehl.

But curiosity got the best of Bryan Kehl shortly before Thanksgiving in 2009, when he was playing for the New York Giants. He went online with only a known fact or two about his real father and searched.

Well, the photo above serves as a spoiler alert, but I’d just rather you read the actual story by Boyer.

You won’t regret it.

Bryan Kehl’s wife, by the way, coincidentally just gave birth to the couple’s first child — a daughter, Jayda — a couple weeks ago, as you might remember.

Jayda’s birth kind of brings this entire story full-circle.
