Charlotte, N.C. — Former Duke quarterback Anthony Boone’s life changed forever after a head-on collision in Weddington with Carolina Panthers’ linebacker Shaq Thompson on May 22.
Boone began that Sunday morning like many others before, stopping for breakfast and traveling down Potter Road en route to D1 Sports Training in Matthews – a suburb outside of Charlotte – to train quarterbacks.
Twelve clients were scheduled to train with Boone at D1 on the day of the crash, with the first session slated for 8 a.m.
Boone – who recently moved to Winston-Salem from Weddington – was visiting his family after working out for the Canadian Football League’s Edmonton Eskimos the day prior in Durham.
