ASU: Isaiah Crowell knows something about second chances

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Since the end of his rookie season, Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell has spent some time talking to others about what got him to the NFL - a second chance. He's been to schools, football camps, even the Georgia General Assembly.

His message has been simple: Second chances are worth giving - and taking advantage of when given.

"I really just feel like with what I went through, it really molded me and grounded me into the person I am today," Crowell told UGASports.com. "It gave me a second chance, and I've had to take full advantage of it and not let anyone down. I'm not going to let anything come between me and my dreams."
