John Dutton thought he had it all going on. He led the University of Nevada to it's first football bowl win in 28 years and was projected as high as a first-round pick in the NFL Draft.
That's when the road to humility began.
Dutton fell to the sixth round, eventually being drafted by the Miami Dolphins. Eventually three NFL teams cut Dutton, leading him to the Arena Football League. Despite a broken ankle and broken arm, he persevered to lead two different teams (San Jose in 2002 and Colorado in 2005) to Arena Bowl titles.
Along the way, Dutton has gained a strong sense of perspective:
“He’s )G0d)taken me up, and He has taken me down, but He has always been faithful,” Dutton said. “Now, I tell everyone about my three F’s: faith, family and football. I give 100 percent and let Him figure out the wins and losses.”
