Darius Victor's family moved to the U.S. after fleeing the Liberian Civil War. That's when he and his brother Kevin found football. Then, Kevin got shot. 'You never know when your last play is gonna be. So that's how I take it every day, every play.'
Darius Victor is a running back for the XFL’s New York Guardians. He's listed at 5-foot-6 and 226 pounds.
"[I] remember stories of my parents saying they used to have to hide in bushes, sleep in bushes — things like that to find refuge from the soldiers," Darius says."So just hearing them say things like that, you know — ducking from bullets, just running for their lives, things like that — it’s just, like, eye-opening. Because I see them now, and I'm like, 'Wow, you guys really went through that? I went through that?' You know, I don't remember it.
"It was just like his toughness really made me who I am today. Even when I run the football, I think about him saying, 'Why [did] you let him tackle you?' or 'Why didn’t you score?' He would always ask me questions like that to push me to be better."
