Quincy Enunwa has no excuses.
His family made sure of that.
His Nigerian-born parents were forced to rebuild their careers and their lives after emigrating to America shortly before he was born. But it was only recently that Enunwa, 24, began to fully grasp the depths of their sacrifice and their struggle.
“It’s huge. That’s kind of what drives me,” said the Jets receiver. “They came here, got their schooling. So I don’t have any excuse.
“That’s something that pushes me, not even consciously but subconsciously, I think,” said Enunwa, who, as a fifth-grader lived in Nigeria for a month with his family.
