A year ago, Jorvorskie Lane, his wife and children lived with his grandmother, now he’s the starting fullback for the Dolphins

This isn’t your normal player-overcomes-odds, rags-to-riches Thanksgiving story.
Granted, there’s a lot of that in Jorvorskie Lane’s heartwarming tale — he’s the overweight-furniture-mover-turned-NFL-bruiser — but much of that ground has already been covered.
Instead, this is a real-life screen play about those closest to the Dolphins’ first-year fullback: Lane’s wife Chan, and little Javia, Jai’Unna and Jorvorskie Jr., his kids, none older than 6.
Last holiday season, they didn’t have their own home. Mom and dad were out of work. They survived on government assistance and the kindness of family and friends.

Great read!

Happy Thanksgiving to the Lane family!

I wish the guy would play like if he did not make the one yard for the first down his whole life would revert back to poverty....then maybe he'd get the damn yard. Play like you mean it kid...

Lane looked awesome early but actually sucks now. He can't run!
