Curtis Brown Humble Beginnings

I was fascinated by this kids story.

Willie Gay has a intense history too. I feel Brown is going to be a special DB for us. I'm just waiting for him to get his shot. He's intense and seems to be a big hitter...

 

I read this last night while I had insomnia from a link on the official site. Sad sad story. Sometimes there are two Americas. If this kid wasn't talented he'd be dead in the water.

 

man that is some crazy story

 

Good read, I had no idea of his upbringing. Truly inspirational.

Hopefully he keeps improving and becomes a dominant part of our defense someday.

 

That story brought tears to my eyes, what a fighter, definitely a strong young man .

 

Wow, simply, wow. You can only root for a guy that has endured so much, so early.

 

Wow, I had no idea about his past. I really hope the best for him.

On a side note, I can't believe what he said about people from his high school not going to college, and there had maybe been 3 people before him go to college. Even if that's much lower than what the actual number is, that's absolutely insane. I can't believe there are schools like that where people just don't go on to college. What has happened to the US? It seems like it's falling apart. It's really sad.

 

A tough upbringing no doubt.

You can bet that the same mother that kicked him to the curb as a baby will be there with her hands out eventually now that he has become successful. I have no respect parents that have children but do not take care of them during their most precious years.

If Curtis was not a gifted athlete his life could very well have ended up in a gutter. I'm glad that he can take care of himself now.

 

Unreal. That was a terrific read. Hopefully he keeps improving. I think he could be a big time player in the future for us at CB.

 

I think between Curtis Brown and Cortez Allen, we've got our two starting corners of the future.
