DuBose uses odd jobs to carve out unusual path to NFL draft

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:45:53 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Grant DuBose took the chances when nobody else would.He accepted the only scholarship offer he had coming out of high school, from Division II Miles College in Alabama, less than two weeks before signing day. When the COVID-19 pandemic canceled his 2020 season, he juggled four jobs between workouts so he could pay bills. And at the urging of a friend, he left Miles in 2021 for a summer tryout with Division I Charlotte.Now, after two strong college seasons, DuBose may be about to see the payoff — going from grocery bagger and Walmart employee to NFL draft pick in three years.“What it taught me about life? Just the importance of hard work,” he said. “Going in, working those shifts and once I got off, finding time to put the extra work in, to go to the field and go to the gym. It taught me the process of hard work and working for the things you really want in life.”The lanky receiver never doubted he could make it — if given the chance. Most did no...

A story of atonement: Former Heat player Meyers Leonard’s path from anti-Semitic slur to rabbinical embrace as Miami’s playoff opponent

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:45:53 GMT

This was not how Meyers Leonard envisioned his return.Foremost, because he never wanted to leave.And yet in the wake of the shame of a single unfortunate, hurtful, ignorant moment two years ago, the former Miami Heat center returns with the Milwaukee Bucks for NBA playoff games in Miami as a study of one of the core tenets of the very culture he unwittingly disparaged.As a study in atonement.“Judaism is about second chances,” Rabbi Pinny Andrusier, director of the Chabad of Southwest Broward, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel this week when asked about Leonard. “We have Yom Kippur once a year.”As in the religion’s Day of Atonement.“But our prayers, for those unfamiliar, every single morning we acknowledge that during this day, in the morning since last night, in the afternoon since this morning, we might have done something to offend a fellow person or God,” Andrusier said. “We’re always asking for forgiveness.”As did Leo...
