🔼 Playing With Purpose. Troy’s Devin Lafayette doesn't just play football, he plays with purpose. Beneath the helmet and shoulder pads is a story forged in adversity, resilience and a love that defied bloodlines.
From a childhood spent in the foster care system to the grueling road back from a devastating injury, Lafayette's journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the people who stood by him when they didn't have to.
