Former NFL player Randall Cunningham and Vernon Fox are coaching high school football in Nevada and preaching to their players that they have options outside of football.
It’s been both of their focus, as they not only bring an NFL pedigree to the sidelines, but Cunningham and Fox are also ordained ministers. Another similarity. Fox recently shared a post on Instagram that revealed the two have a combined 15 years coaching experience, 24 years NFL experience and 30 years ministry experience.
Through their ministry, they’ve found a doorway to common ground for many players who are young men of faith and can share that on the football field with their coaches.
