It’s almost impossible to envision Eddie George losing a race at football practice or falling down while running leaping over a hurdle.
After all, George — a 6-foot-3, 235-pound running back — won the Heisman Trophy at Ohio State and rushed for 10,441 yards in the NFL from 1996 to 2004.
George, however, learned two valuable lessons from those impossible-to-picture experiences from coach Micky Sullivan at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy. With those memories in mind, George is serving as the spokesman for the “Dear Seniors” program, which will debut at the Russell Athletic Bowl between Miami, Fla.
