The original article on Cody Latimer can be found here on the New York Post.

Cody Latimer says that he struggled to be a professional coming into the NFL at a young age — he says that he was, “young, dumb, [and] hard-headed.” However, he feels that he has grown up and is taking things more seriously, primarily due to the birth of his son, Jacolby.

“I got to do it for him. You don’t want [him] to see his dad be a failure. He made me focus on life and see it from a different perspective.”
