Notes and References

Shapiro, Leonard. "Redskin Grant Has Overcome Long Odds", The Washington Post, October 7, 1977. Accessed October "'If you knew where he came from, what his background was, you'd know what I'm talking about,' said Bert Nanhoff, Grant's football coach at East Side High in Newark and now a guidance counselor at a suburban school in northern New Jersey.... That determination showed up early, because Manhoff once told Grant, then a puny 140-pound freshman, that he was simply too small to play high school football."
