Wide receiver Corey Davis celebrates a touchdown against collegiate rival Central Michigan University on Oct. 10, 2015.
Off the field, Davis is much different. He still has the same infectious smile, but Davis is a shy, quiet man of little words. Behind his wall of modesty is a story of triumph and great resilience.
Born on the southside of Chicago, Davis’s parents moved him, his four brothers and two sisters to the suburbs of Wheaton, Illinois in the second grade. Although both parents were in the home, Davis and his siblings were left on their own most of the time.
