FRISCO, Texas -- Despite the beaches, clear waters and hot temperatures, going to Fiji was not on Danny McCray’s bucket list after he retired from the NFL in 2015.
“I couldn’t find it on a map, either,” said the former safety, who played six seasons in the league with Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears.
Yet for at least a week in March -- maybe a lot longer -- McCray found himself in Fiji, an archipelago of more than 300 islands in the South Pacific. He wasn't staying at a fancy resort, enjoying the best of food and drink with his wife, Kiki, and perhaps some friends.
