Orr’s field of view includes football

Jonathan Orr loves football.You don’t devote hours of your free time catching hundreds of passes, as Orr has, in an effort to make your hands more dependable if you aren’t passionate about the game. Yet when asked to choose, the University of Wisconsin senior wide receiver confesses football isn’t his No. 1 priority.

“When I leave, I want to leave a legacy that I helped to change people’s lives,” Orr said quietly after a recent practice. “I want to leave a legacy in football, too. But I just feel I’ve been called to do more wherever I go.”
