Grambling, LA - When nobody believed in Everson Walls, and that was often, he always believed in himself. "You're going to have to have the heart," he would tell himself. "You're going to have to come through for yourself."
Finally, after years of steady effort, the former Grambling State defensive back came to understand one of football's basic truths: "Whatever was going to happen for me," Walls said, "would have to happen because of what I did on the field."
During Walls 14 seasons, he was a four-time Pro Bowl selection and won a Super Bowl with the NY Giants.
That tireless ambition to overcome whatever obstacles lay in path paid off with league titles in college, pro bowls and a championship in the NFL and, this weekend, induction as part of the third class of the Grambling Legends Sports Hall of Fame. The sold-out ceremonies will be held Saturday at the Hobdy Assembly Center on the Grambling campus.
