From The Streets To Stardom: Mardy Gilyard

Just a few years ago, Cincinnati WR Mardy Gilyard was living on the streets with dreams of going back to school and playing football again. Now he's a primary playmaker for the BCS-bound Bearcats. Ryan Cost of palestra.net has more.

I love Mardy!!! He sounds very educated. He made some mistakes when he was young, but learned from them and worked his ass of to get back what he loved.

Good for this young man. I'm from Texas and all we hear about is Colt McCoy this and Colt McCoy that, but it is really great to hear a story of a young man working through his problems to not only become a great football player, but a great human being, as well. Good luck in the future, Mardy!
