Through setbacks, former Gamecock Weslye Saunders still chasing football dreams

Weslye Saunders wasn’t quite ready to give it up yet.

The former South Carolina football star had been out of the NFL for a few years. He’d gone from the Gamecocks to the Steelers to the Colts, and had spent some time focusing on his major, journalism, and a few other things.

“I started to figure out my own body a little bit more,” Saunders said. “I started to practice more holistic methods of how to take care of my body, which transformed my energy and just my body shape completely. Even though I haven’t been playing football the last couple years, I did learn a lot about vitality and health going to Tony Robbins conventions.
