Deon Grant is a former second-round draft pick of the Panthers who registered 30 career interceptions in 12 NFL seasons as a safety with Carolina, Seattle and the Giants.
Grant now works with the NFL Players Association as a “trust captain,” working with former players.
What is being a “trust captain” all about?
“It’s powered by the NFLPA. It’s really just trying to help the guys, so they feel as successful as when they were playing the game. There are a lot of programs we have available that guys may not have been aware of when they were playing: mental health awareness, suicide prevention, programs for guys who want to go back to school.
