There was a time Troy Pindell shied from the spotlight.
He often dreaded post-practice interviews while playing safety at Florida Atlantic from 2002-06. For the most part, he kept to himself in public.
That was then. Now, he is comfortable in front of the camera as a Kardashian. Known by fans as “TPINDELL,” he has more than two millions subscribers on his YouTube channel and turned his Internet comedy skits into a six-figure salary.
“When I first started, the majority of my friends and family were like, `What are you doing? You have a degree, go get a real job,”’ Pindell said.
