u200bThere are so many football players in the NFL who have stories of overcoming adversity. Players come back from injury, they have slow starts and turn into stars later on.
But then there's Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake, who on Tuesday afternoon at Norland Senior High School, shared his story with students and gave them some encouragement and advice on how to overcome challenges in their lives and inspire them to become better.
"It's just basically about not letting the things that happen to you affect you chasing your dreams, believe in yourself, overcome obstacles, perseverance, a lot of things that I've had to deal with throughout my career," Wake said.
