TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- The chalkboard works just fine when Chris Cash wants to illustrate plays for the safeties he coaches on the FAMU football team.
But there is just no drawing up the bigger part of what the Rattlers’ assistant believes his players have to know when it comes to life choices and persevering in the face of adversity.
Cash just tells them about that.
Cash grew up in a single-parent household in a California neighborhood where drugs and gangs were right outside his door. He had to cope with the murder of a sibling. Another one is doing time in prison and another overcame prison time to earn a college degree.
Cash, who had a successful collegiate career at USC before spending five years in the NFL, said he doesn’t mind telling his story because some of his players might be facing similar challenges.
