“Once you get through the bottom, the sky is the limit.”
For Malik Boynton, it’s a philosophy he’s unfortunately had to endure enough for any person’s lifetime. From losing his mom to breast cancer, homeless and living out of a van, and a spinal injury that left him paralyzed. Somehow, through it all, he’s been able to stay positive, and remain focused on his NFL dream.
Next weekend, he’ll get that chance.
Boynton, a defensive back from Austin Peay, is one of several names to earn a tryout for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their rookie minicamp, set to take place May 11th through the 13th.
