Rodney Clemons is driving home from the barbershop with his girlfriend in Kansas City. They’ve been living there together for a few months now and it’s finally starting to feel like home.
Kansas City is the farthest he’s ever been from his parents, who lived about four hours from his apartment near SMU’s campus. They helped their only son move into his new place in September. The star safety at SMU is wearing his NFL Players Association ball cap and practiced earlier that morning, as he continues preparing for his first NFL regular season.
