WR Cris Carter (All B1G, All-American, 8x Pro Bowler, 3x All Pro, NFL HOF)

SKULL SESSION: SOME JUSTIN FIELDS OR DWAYNE HASKINS DEBATE, TREY SERMON PUTS IN OFFSEASON WORK, AND CRIS CARTER REMEMBERS BEING HUNGRY ONCE

PAYING FORWARD.
Cris Carter knows exactly what it's like to not know where his next meal is going to come from. Now that he's a Hall of Fame receiver, he wants to help make sure nobody else ever has to feel that way.

Carter, 54, is one of several “Gold Jackets” supporting Project Isaiah, a charitable organization established during the coronavirus pandemic to provide free, boxed meals to people in need and keep food-service workers employed. The brainchild of investment banker Michael Klein, the project since its launch in April has provided more than 1.7 million meals in 11 cities with underserved communities that have been hit particularly hard by the COVID-19 crisis.

...

For Carter, the project resonates in more ways than one. He grew up with six siblings in a single-parent household headed by his mother in Dayton, Ohio. He remembers what it felt like to go hungry when there was no pandemic, just scant resources.

“It touches me personally because I don’t know what my family would have done 30, 40 years ago if there had been a pandemic,” Carter said.

“If I was a young kid sitting around all day and my mom couldn’t go to work and we couldn’t go to school, it would have been tough. I was going to school for at least two of my meals.”

I'd honestly say I take most things in my life for granted, and I need to work on that, but I very much wish everyone in the world could take eating for granted.

Enjoyable listen with some fun stories. I had no idea Cris was the #2 two guard in basketball in Ohio in HS. Makes sense though.

Cris was a hooper, but his brother Butch was the REAL basketball player in the family! Went to IU and then spent some time in the NBA. Heck of an athletic family
