LOOKING TO REWRITE HIS STORY HIS
WAY.
PRATTVILLE HOME OF THE LIONS
FIVE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND
U.A.B. RUNNING BACK KINGSTON
DAVIS.
THE ALL TIME LEADER GOES INTO
THE END ZONE FOR THE SCORE.
IN THE HISTORY BOOKS.
IT WAS REALLY AN HONOR TO BE
THERE.
THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT
MEMORIES.
I LOVE FOOTBALL AND LIKE ANY
OTHER KID I WANTED TO PLAY.
HE REMEMBERS HIS PLAYING DAYS
BUT THE RETIRED ARMY MASTER
SERGEANT SAYS IT DOESN'T COMPARE
TO WATCHING HIS SON.
YOU COULD MULTIPLY THE
FEELING THAT YOU FEEL PLAYING
FOOTBALL BY HUNDREDS WHEN IT
COMES TO WATCHING YOUR KIDS GROW
AND DEVELOP.
THEIR HOME TELLS HIS SUCCESS AND
JOURNEY TO U.A.B.
WITH DOZENS OF SCHOLARSHIP
OFFERS ONE SCHOOL AND ONE COACH
STOOD OUT.
WE TACKED ABOUT -- TALKED
ABOUT GOING TO MICHIGAN.
TYRONE WHEATLEY AND IN 2016
MICHIGAN'S RUNNING BACKS COACH.
THE COACHES WERE IN MY
LIVING ROOM AND SAID WE ARE
RECRUITING HIM TO PLAY RUNNING
BACK AT MICHIGAN.
DAVIS'S FRESHMAN SEASON WAS
PLAGUED BY AN INJURY AND HE TOOK
THE SAME POSITION WITH THE
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS.
THEN SPRING PRACTICE ROLLED
AROUND.
THE DEPTH CHART DIDN'T HAVE
MY NAME ON IT.
THE POSITION CHANGE LED TO AN
EVEN BIGGER CHANGE.
I LIKE TO HAVE PLANS, A, B,
C.
THE JUCO IS THE LAST PLACE I
WOULD THINK ABOUT AND MY DAD WAS
LIKE HEY WHY NOT.
I WOULD NOT HAVE TO SIT OUT.
THAT IS WHEN THE COLLEGE
CAME.
SEEING HOW THINGS WERE GOING
WITH KINGSTON.
WE WANT HIM HERE AT
INDEPENDENCE.
THE RUNNING BACK COACH DROVE
THERE.
IT WAS ENOUGH TO CONVINCE HIM
TO MAKE THE MOVE TO INDEPENDENCE
A CITY THE THIRD THE SIZE OF HIS
TOWN OF PRATTVILLE.
HIS SEASON WAS FOLLOWED BY THE
SERIES LAST CHANCE U WHICH OFTEN
FEATURES STUDENT ATHLETES WITH
HIGH LEVEL TALTON OUT FIELD BUT
CHALLENGES OFF THE FIELD.
THEY SIGNED A WAIVER ALLOWING
NETFLIX TO INCLUDE HIM.
THEY QUICKLY REALIZED IT WAS NOT
AS THEY WERE TOLD.
YOU TOLD ME AND MY WIFE THAT
YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF
KINGS 10.
OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS ABANDONED.
HE NEVER RECEIVED THE SKIP
COACH BROWN PROMISED -- SKHRP
COACH BROWN AND HE HURT MORE
FOUR LETTER CUSS WORDS IN ONE
PRACTICE THAN HE SAW TOUCHES.
NETFLIX AIRED ONLY TWO PLAYS
FROM DAVIS THOSE LOST FUMBLES.
DESPITE GRADUATING WITH ABOVE B
AVERAGE IT MADE HIM OUT TO BE A
POOR STUDENT AND HE WAS
EVENTUALLY KICKED OFF THE TEAM.
I WATCHED THE WHOLE SERIES
THAT NIGHT AND STAYED UP AND
WATCH IT AND I REMEMBER CALLING
MY DAD AND I WAS VERY FRUSTRATED
AND DISAPPOINTED.
HOW FROM T FROM THE TIME -- NETFLIX
PORTRAYED ME.
I DIDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH THE
FIRST EPISODE.
AT SOME POINT I MIGHT WATCH IT
BUT RIGHT NOW WHILE MY SON IS IN
THE BATTLE OF TRYING TO BE A
FOOTBALL PLAYER I JUST CAN'T
WATCH IT RIGHT NOW.
HE IS IN.
SECOND EFFORT WILL GET HIM IN.
HE BEGAN A NEW CHAPTER OF
HIS COLLEGE FOOTBALL CAREER AT
U.A.B. WHERE HE JOINS BILL CLARK
THE WINNINGEST COACH.
WHAT WE SAW FROM KINGSTON WAS
ALL RIGHT COME IN HERE AND HAVE
A CHANCE TO EARN SOMETHING AND
HANDLE IT WITH GREAT ATTITUDE
AND EVERYTHING TO EARN A
SCHOLARSHIP TELLS BUT HIM.
HIS PATH WAS NOT EASY HOUR
DRIVE UP I-65.
HIM BEING 19 GOING THROUGH
SOMETHING ON SOMETHING HE LOVES
PLAYING FOOTBALL WILL HELP HIM
TO BE STRONGER DOWN THE ROAD.
HE'S TAKEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY
TO PROVE INDEPENDENCE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE WAS NOT HIS LAST CHANCE.
THE COMMENTS IS VERY
MOTIVATING.
WHATEVER THE NEGATIVITY IS
USE IT TO MOTIVATE US TO BE
GREAT.
I THINK THAT IS WHAT HE WANTS US
TO DO.
MOTIVATE ME TO PROVE THAT I'M
