Football Still Shaping Mike Morton

Posted Jul 30, 2014
Former UNC linebacker Mike Morton made 214 tackles for A.L. Brown high school as a senior in ‘89, an extraordinary performance that would put him on the road toward a Super Bowl ring. The 42-year-old Morton’s life isn’t all football — he was a very good baseball player, he’s a devoted family man, and he’s a successful Kannapolis dentist — but it was football that shaped what’s happened to him and for him.
