MAXWELL SMART: Bright running back learns from injury, ready to roll

For the last two years one wouldn't be at fault if they'd confused FIU running back Napoleon Maxwell for a Home Depot employee.

After all Maxwell has worn an FIU football non-contact orange top – the color associated with the hardware chain's employees – for most of the last two years as he rehabbed a torn ACL knee injury.

However, whenever Maxwell finishes playing football one might be more likely to find him in the psychology business instead of helping out a customer on aisle 12 with a piece of wood.

And ironically enough it was Maxwell's injury that led him to his psychology major.
