Safety Walter Thurmond is well-rounded both on and off the football field. From a young age, Thurmond was introduced to creative expression and has used his experiences in sports and the arts to make an impact in his community.
It is only natural that Thurmond was interested in the arts, given that artistic talent runs in his family. Growing up, Thurmond’s father (Walter Jr.) would always draw and paint, and in the ‘70s his grandmother was a recording artist for Motown. As a child, Thurmond discovered his knack for drawing, passed down by his father, and began creating.
