Darius Hamilton will enter the NFL with less fanfare than he had entering Rutgers.
But the former five-star recruit out of Don Bosco Prep High School has no less determination to reach his goals. If anything, Hamilton has more of it after missing a year of football due to a knee injury and re-discovering how much he loves the game.
In the six weeks since his Rutgers career ended, Hamilton signed with agent Robert Roche, accepted an invitation to play in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and moved out of his house in New Brunswick and into his digs on the campus of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
