Chargers could potentially have feel-good story of the year in Jerimiah Spicer

Spicer is a talented prospect, but it’s not the story of his playing career that will make you a fan of this kid, it’s the story of what he has overcome.

Spicer grew up in Los Angeles, but he had to do so on the streets during his teenage years. His mom passed away while pregnant with his sister, a girl named Miracle because of the fact that she survived. His father wasn’t in the picture and he was homeless, living on Skid Row.

Many kids are forced to grow up too fast due to certain difficult circumstances, but this was a harsh beginning for any young man.
