Kassidy Woods Enjoying the Journey
By: Jan Rac (Strategic Sports Writing, Murrow College)
Kassidy Woods started playing football in eighth grade and he grew up watching videos of Jerry Rice, whose style of play he grew to admire, and Julio Jones, his idol and favorite receiver in the NFL. His first inspirations, however, were his dad and his two older brothers. His dad, John, taught him everything he knows about football and basketball.
"We lived in such an impoverished place at that time our parents didn't want us to go outside so we had to stay inside," Wood said. "When I got the chance to play football it was just amazing, just something fun to do, something to be around my other friends."
