Three high schools. Three pro football camps.
One opportunity.
That’s Tuzar Skipper’s story.
Skipper will be one of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ outside linebackers reporting to training camp this Thursday. But in a way, it’s almost hard to believe he’s part of that group. The odds of any athlete making it into the NFL are incredibly slim. Factor in Skipper’s path to get here and he might be one in a million.
He moved around plenty growing up. There were three high schools, multiple foster parents and by the time he arrived at Norwich Free Academy in Connecticut, he was in a group home.
