Robert Quinn draws inspiration from his past

Posted Oct 12, 2009
It's been just shy of two years since doctors discovered the brain tumor that required emergency surgery and sidelined Robert Quinn for his senior football season at Fort Dorchester High School in North Charleston, S.C. "They told me my athletic career was over,'' Quinn said. "So after a couple of days I was thinking, 'Well, what can I do without football?'" Fortunately, Quinn hasn't had to answer that question.
