When he was seven years old Jehuu Caulcrick (Jay-you Call-crick) walked the Liberian coast with his family, passing through checkpoints armed with child soldiers not much older than him, blank faces, teeth yellowed by jungle-juice and heroin, AK47’s hanging off gaunt bodies. It was 1990, the middle of country’s second civil war in ten years. He walked for nearly seven-hundred miles, until he was nine-years-old.

When he was twenty-seven years old Jehuu carried a football for the Buffalo Bills for one yard and a first down, his only carry in a five-year nomadic career as a professional football player.
In between, a lot happened.
