SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla. — Keith McCants was supposed to be the next big football star as the first-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1990. But during his short career, he struggled physically.
"That’s me praying to God, to help my knee," said McCants, pointing to a picture of himself praying on the field while wearing a knee brace.
McCants, now 52, says his injuries led to pain pills, which led to addiction, which led to prison.
