Fan posts stirring video tribute to Auburn’s Philip Lutzenkirchen

Former Auburn tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen tragically died early Sunday morning in a car accident, but his legacy as a great player — and even even greater person — lives on.

“I’d much rather be known for what I’ve done off the field in impacting other people’s lives than how many touchdowns or how many catches I’ve had,” Lutzenkirchen famously said.

Today, a fan released the above video that really captures that sentiment.
