Marcus DuPree

When Marcus was in college he did a couple of things that were selfish. He didn't want to play for University of Oklahoma because of the coaching. He did not like how he wasn't treated as the best player on the team, which he was. He was treated like any other freshman.
I do sympathize with Marcus in only a couple of situations. He should be set money wise right now, but he got "screwed". He had this man who he thought he could trust put his money in a separate bank account, and he never even saw the money. When he needed money he asked for it, but never truly was wealthy which he should have been. Also he was so young and overwhelmed by the press and being so popular. He did not know how to react which caused him to possibly ruin his career.
What shocked me was that after having a career ending knee injury he was able to get off the couch and get back into shape and play football again. I was very surprised when after he was in full health again he played one season for the rams and then gave up. He stopped because he just wanted to know if he could do it again and he was able too. This was very inspirational and shows how dedicated he was to reach his goal of playing for his brother and playing in the nfl.
