Homeless Former UNC Player Balks at Efforts to Help Him

I had spent weeks trying to connect with him for a column I wrote last week about his life after football. So when I received an outpouring of offers from people who wanted to help him, I knew it wouldn’t be simple for those people to follow through. (New York Times)
