Michael Strahan reveals connection to Pete Davidson following 9/11

As the anniversary of the September 11 attacks approaches, new details have emerged regarding former NFL player Michael Strahan’s experience during the events. In the documentary ‘9/11: United We Stand — 25 Years Later’, Strahan revealed that he had carried a young boy on his shoulders in East Rutherford, New Jersey, shortly after the attacks.
