The first time Kassan Myers’ new football teammates at Miami Edison High saw him at practice a few of them shook their heads.
“We thought he couldn’t play — just one of those kids who wanted to be seen on the football team,’’ said Maurice Nelson, a senior who plays quarterback and receiver for the Red Raiders.
How could someone born missing four fingers on their right hand — all but the thumb — make a tackle or catch a ball with only the full use of one hand? How could they possibly play receiver or cornerback or be counted on to handle kickoffs or punts?
