National Anthem By Chris Botti Moves MNF Players To Tears

By Josh Helmuth

Reggie Wayne. Andrew Luck. Even former football star and now super TV host Michael Strahan…

All three, just a small sample size of an entire stadium captivated by what was one of the more remarkable and awe-inspiring performances of our national anthem prefacing Monday Night Football’s Colts-Giants matchup. 

The performance was done by trumpeter Chris Botti, who most of us have never heard of, until now. His rendition literally moved Wayne to tears.

Take the two minutes to watch below. You won’t regret it.
