Kevin Grady

Kevin Lee Grady, Jr. (born June 24, 1986) is a free agent American football running back last played with the Chicago Slaughter of the Indoor Football League for their 2011 season. He completed his athletic eligibility for the Michigan Wolverines football team during the 2009 NCAA Division I FBS football season. He began his Michigan career as a tailback but was converted to fullback. Starting on May 11, 2011 he began serving a 20-day jail sentence for a second drunk driving offense, which resulted in him becoming a free agent from the Slaughter.

In high school, he led his team to consecutive Michigan High School Athletic Association Championships. Along the way, he established numerous Michigan High School Athletic Association career football rushing records while playing for East Grand Rapids High School, many of which still stand. He was also widely-regarded as the best junior class high school football player in the nation during the 2003 high school football season.

At the University of Michigan, he became the school's first athlete to graduate high school a semester early in order to participate in Spring football practice. He was Mike Hart's backup at tailback during his first two years at Michigan. He missed his third year due to injury and returned to play fullback during his final two years of eligibility.

Famous quotes containing the word kevin:

    Well, on the official record you’re my son. But on this post you’re just another trooper. You heard me tell the recruits what I need from them. Twice that I will expect from you.... You’ve chosen my way of life. I hope you have the guts enough to endure it. But put outa your mind any romantic ideas that it’s a way to glory. It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.
