Clifton Crosby, former NFL Super Bowl Winner

Alcohol, Drug and Violence Prevention Speaker

Clifton “Cliff” Crosby, the charismatic, inspirational, and yet sincerely modest former NFL Player and Super Bowl Champion, has a fascinating behind the scenes story of how hard choices and gut-wrenching honesty helped him avoid the pitfalls of growing up in family circumstances that would defeat most children.

Born in Erie, Pennsylvania, Cliff was an all state star basketball, track and football athlete in high school. He was recruited by the University of Maryland on a full football scholarship and received a degree in Family Studies.

Cliff sat out most games during his junior year of college due to an injury. As a result, he was not drafted by the NFL as he had hoped, but Cliff did succeed in signing on as a free agent with the St. Louis Rams. During his first year on the team, they won the Super Bowl!

Cliff also played for 5 years with the Indianapolis Colts and reluctantly concluded his football career with the Kansas City Chiefs a few years ago after he obtained a permanent injury.

With the many accolades of life as a professional football player behind him, Cliff has become a tireless champion for youth as he talks to teens about the life skills and choices that will protect them from risky behaviors.

Highly regarded in the Washington, D.C. - Baltimore area for his commitment to child advocacy, Cliff is in great demand as a motivational speaker with Caron because he has such an insightful and valuable message to share with all of us.
