Decobie Durant didn’t take the traditional path to the NFL. The Rams’ fourth-round pick went through adversity before college and worked hard to make his dream come true by reaching the NFL on Saturday.
Out of high school, Durant had zero offers to play college football. So, he took a job with FedEx and developed some relationships with contractors in that job. After working there for a little while, he reached out to the South Carolina State coach to see if there was an opportunity for him to play there.
Coach Harrison gave him a shot and Durant took full advantage. On NFL Network recently, Durant detailed his path to becoming a draft prospect, from FedEx to SC State.
