Being patient as a hard worker waiting for the right opportunity to appear is a strong virtue to have. It showcases resilience and the will to keep believing that having a solid work ethic will put you in the right spot to succeed.
That is what's happening with defensive end Marlon Bradley, who is having a breakout year with the Florida Atlantic football team. In five games this season, he has 21 tackles (nine solo) and three sacks (both career-highs) for a loss of 21 yards.
It is significant for Bradley because this is his first year as a full-time starter after being with the program since 2019, when then-head coach Lane Kiffin recruited him from Deltona High School to come play for the team.
