Snoop Doggs son I felt I had to play football for dad to love me

In August, Cordell Broadus admitted he no longer wanted to be a football player and . Now, Broadus, the son of rap artist Snoop Dogg, has revealed his pa sion for football was lacking long before he left the team.The former four-star recruit took to Instagram on Wednesday to wish his famous father a happy Reggie Wayne Jersey birthday, and in so doing, shed a little more light on his decision to walk away from a scholarship to play for the Bruins.It’s nearly impo sible to excel in any pursuit without genuine pa sion. Broadus, based on his admi sion, managed to be one of the nation’s most sought-after recruits in a sport he didn’t particularly care to play.Don’t make the mistake of a suming Broadus only drew interest from colleges because he was the son of Snoop Dogg. Even though each school has 85 scholarships, coaches treat them as precious a sets and don’t hand them out lightly. For a coach, a scholarship to a player who doesn’t contribute to team succe s is a scholarship wasted. So you can be sure that when Broadus drew offers from UCLA, USC, Notre Dame, Cal, Arizona State, and plenty others, it was merit-based.There’s no way to know how Broadus would have fared in the sport had it been a pa sion of his own.But for something that was apparently never his goal at all, he achieved more than most.*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter *.
