It goes God, family, football. That’s usually the mantra on most football fields around the US. NFL coaches Sherman Smith and Deland McCullough just added the element of fate to that equation after discovering their mentor-mentee relationship was actually a biological father-son bond.
These days, very few football details escape the dedicated fan, so they might already know Smith and McCullough are both highly sought-after running back coaches with Super Bowl rings to their names. Some might even know the two had short-lived playing careers that ended due to similar knee injuries. We’ll even give some the benefit of the doubt and assume they already knew Smith mentored McCullough from the very start — but not a single person knew they were actually father and son, not even the two themselves.
