Buffalo Bills WR T.J. Graham's confidence shaped by adversity
"I've been through a lot," he said. "My family's ups and downs have helped me get to this point, built me."
Graham is referring to how the comfortable life he was accustomed to living as the son of an elite track coach was turned upside-down some seven years ago.
That's when his father Trevor Graham's career came to a stunning halt as a result of his connection to the BALCO performance-enhancing drug scandal.
The elder Graham, whose stable of athletes included Marian Jones, has been banned for life from coaching competitive track. In 2008, he was sentenced to a year of home confinement for lying to federal investigators.
It wasn't an easy time for T.J. — Trevor Junior.
