Sons try to follow fathers to NFL
Excerpts:
Maryland cornerback Josh Wilson is carrying more than the memory of his father in his quest for a professional football career.
Wilson is carrying his dad's trading card in his wallet and a small tattoo of his father on his chest with the inscription, "Forever In My Heart." Tim Wilson was Earl Campbell's blocking back with the Houston Oilers. He passed away of a heart attack in 1996, when Josh was 11.
"I just remember he's always with me," Wilson said. "That's the reason I got the tattoo. I wanted a way to carry it with me all the time. If somebody stole my wallet, I'd be pretty upset, because I've got something more valuable than money in there.
