“You have to keep God first regardless of whatever trials or tribulations you might have in life. If you don’t believe in God, hey, I don’t have anything against you, but I’m still going to tell you what I have to say. You just can’t get out of that hog pen by yourself. You have to be a humble person and have respect. It’s not just about football. That’s what I try to pass on.”
Sam Hurd, then with the Dallas Cowboys, discussing what he was trying to stress in youth football camps two-and-a-half years ago.
Now with the Chicago Bears, Hurd has been arrested on felony drug charges for allegedly seeking five to ten kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week as well as having a list of the NFL players he distributed to that is in “double digits.”
