Michael McCrary
Michael Curtis McCrary (born July 7, 1970) is a former American Football defensive end who played for the Seattle Seahawks and the Baltimore Ravens for ten seasons in the NFL between 1993 and 2002. McCrary was a two time Pro Bowler in 1998 and 1999. McCrary was inducted to the Ravens' Ring of Honor in 2004. McCrary is now doing commentary for the Ravens on WBAL-AM and created Mac's Miracle Fund; a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting programs and creating unique initiatives that foster self-esteem, build character, and promote academic and athletic excellence in children in need.
==Early years==
McCrary often cited his parents as the reason he took the path he did. When McCrary was a young boy his mother wanted to place him in a day care which was located across the street from his home. However, it wasn't racially integrated and she sued the day care to allow Michael's admittance. The case Runyon v. McCrary was heard before the United States Supreme Court and resulted in his admission. (One of the justices who dissented was former football star Byron "Whizzer" White, which became rather ironic a quarter-century later, in 2000, when McCrary was given the Byron "Whizzer" White NFL Man of the Year Award for that season.)
As a teen, McCrary "hated lifting. I absolutely couldn’t stand it, but my father drove me and pushed me. After a while I saw development on my arms and legs, and after about a year I could lift all the weights he had. I was kind of in shock, because I could see formation. It was starting to make sense as to why I was doing this.” There were many times in that first year at George C. Marshall High School that Michael wanted to quit, but by his senior year, McCrary was being recruited by several top football programs and anticipated he would have a breakout senior season. Instead, in only the second game of the season, Michael McCrary broke his arm in two places after chasing down a ball carrier. Because of the injury, McCrary sat out his entire senior year; after that, the only schools still interested were James Madison and Towson State (both division I-AA schools) and Wake Forest. McCrary would later admit that “even with Wake Forest, I wasn’t one of their top recruits. They told me that the only reason I got in was because a couple other guys ahead of me turned them down, so the scholarship slid to me. But I didn’t care; I had my scholarship and my car, and I knew the rest would take care of itself if I just kept working.”
