INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Grant DuBose took the chances when nobody else would.He accepted the only scholarship offer he had coming out of high school, from Division II Miles College in Alabama, less than two weeks before signing day. When the COVID-19 pandemic canceled his 2020 season, he juggled four jobs between workouts so he could pay bills. And at the urging of a friend, he left Miles in 2021 for a summer tryout with Division I Charlotte.Now, after two strong college seasons, DuBose may be about to see the payoff — going from grocery bagger and Walmart employee to NFL draft pick in three years.“What it taught me about life? Just the importance of hard work,” he said. “Going in, working those shifts and once I got off, finding time to put the extra work in, to go to the field and go to the gym. It taught me the process of hard work and working for the things you really want in life.”The lanky receiver never doubted he could make it — if given the chance. Most did no...
