The veteran has always been there for the rookie.
Long before they were teammates, long before the rookie could know for sure that he had a chance to follow in the older man’s footsteps.
From the time Nick Cross was in eighth grade, Rodney McLeod has been there, even though they didn’t talk all the time.

Of the reward at the end of the road Cross was traveling.
Twelve years apart in age, the two men are both part of the DeMatha Catholic High School brotherhood, a family that has sent a couple dozen of its best from Maryland into the NFL. Fiercely proud of his DeMatha heritage, McLeod has long been one of the family’s most faithful, returning every summer to hold a football camp at his old stomping grounds.
