CINCINNATI (AP) - Devon Still describes his daughter as "your typical, soon-to-be 8-year-old." Nothing's typical about Leah Still , who faced long odds against reaching that eighth birthday. Or about her father, a former NFL defensive lineman who retired after last season and has immersed himself in a second career - helping other families deal with childhood cancer.
"We call it recycling our pain," Still said.
Still retired last December after another foot injury sidetracked his career, deciding that at 28 years old, it was time to move on to something else.
