Darius Maxwell is a proud Florida native. Broward County to be precise, where football players are molded by the thousands in the swampy mud and emerge protective of the land that raised them.
So on a Southern California day in March, when Maxwell found himself surrounded by quarterbacks who were forged in the Cali sun, he drew a line in the sand.
It resulted in a moment, and subsequent video that has gone viral this week, showing Maxwell intercepting Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, then reveling in the moment by handing the back-to-back MVP the ball as he ran by in celebration.
