As an NFL player, it’s common to return to a place that was once home. Whether it was home for a year or a dozen seasons, it was still home. Heading to Jacksonville always gives me that feeling as it was my home for seven years, where I met my wife and where my son Jack was born. But, returning to a former home city is one thing; returning to the city wearing a different jersey, competing against players that were once teammates is quite another.
That’s the situation Cecil Shorts III will face on Sunday when the Texans take the field against Shorts’s former team the Jacksonville Jaguars.
