Hey there, folks! Now, some of y’all might be wonderin’ if young Fahmarr McElrathbey, the one in that movie “Safety”, ever got to play in the NFL. Well, let’s chat about that, plain and simple. Now, I know this story is mostly about his big brother Ray Ray McElrathbey. That young man went through a heap of challenges, tryin’ to balance school, football, and raisin’ his little brother all by hisself. But for Fahmarr, the little brother folks call “Fay,” he’s not the one who went playin’ big-time football on his own.
Ray Ray, now he had quite the journey. Back in 2006, he got himself on the Clemson University football team as a freshman. He played as a safety and worked hard on that field, all while lookin’ after young Fahmarr since their mama had her struggles and their daddy had his own issues. Not an easy road, y’know? But Ray Ray stepped up for his little brother like few would, keepin’ him close and takin’ care of him while playin’ college ball.
So did Fahmarr play football, and did he reach the NFL? Well, bless his heart, but no, he didn’t play in the NFL. He mostly stayed by Ray Ray’s side while Ray handled the football stuff and their life challenges. Ray’s story was so powerful they made a whole movie about it – that’s the Disney film, “Safety”. But it was Ray Ray who actually played, and not Fahmarr.
Ray himself never did make it to the NFL either, if you’re wonderin’. He had dreams just like the next young football player, but his life took him down different paths. After Clemson, Ray went on to play ball at Howard University and later at Mars Hill College, but the NFL wasn’t in his cards. Instead, Ray focused on education, gettin’ his degree from Clemson in 2008 and then chasin’ more studies at these other schools.
Let me tell ya, though, even if they didn’t reach the NFL, Ray and Fahmarr’s story is one of strength and love, showin’ how a family sticks together. You see, it wasn’t just about sports – it was about Ray Ray takin’ care of his brother, doin’ the right thing even when times got tough.
Now if y’all wanna know why folks keep askin’ if they went to the NFL, it’s probably ’cause the story touched so many hearts, and they want to know what happened after the movie ended. But in real life, Ray and his little brother Fahmarr kept their lives goin’, takin’ on other challenges and focusin’ on makin’ a better life.
Here’s a little breakdown for ya:
- Ray Ray McElrathbey: Played college football at Clemson, then moved on to play for Howard and Mars Hill. No NFL career, but he did great things for his brother.
- Fahmarr McElrathbey: Didn’t play in the NFL, just supported his brother and stuck close to family.
- “Safety”: A Disney movie that tells the true story of these two brothers and their bond, showin’ how Ray Ray stepped up for his family.
So, there ya go – neither Ray nor Fahmarr played in the NFL. But sometimes, life’s about more than just makin’ it to the pros, right? It’s about doin’ what’s best for family, and that’s what Ray did. That’s why folks remember this story, and why “Safety” left such a mark on folks’ hearts.
