CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — There are moments when Miami running back Joseph Yearby feels like his world is falling apart.
His father is in jail, awaiting trial that records suggest may send him back to state prison. He has two kids of his own, a 3-year-old son and a daughter born earlier this year. The pressure to provide for his family is constant. So is the lure of street life.
He doesn't like to talk about these things.
They are his pain. They are what drives the 19-year-old toward what he hopes is something better, for himself and for his children.
