MormonTimes.com: Rob Morris on faith, family, future
HIGHLAND — Ask Rob Morris if it was a challenge being a member of the LDS Church and playing in the National Football League, and he doesn't hesitate in responding.
"I didn't find it difficult at all. As a matter of fact, I think it's more difficult living in Utah County and being LDS," says Morris, a former BYU and Indianapolis Colts linebacker who retired last summer and lives in Highland with his wife, Tracie, and 5-year-old son, Carter.
"There, it was clear-cut what my standards were. I was a far better person in the NFL than I was at BYU. Mostly because I was more grown up. Everybody knew I didn't drink, I didn't swear, I didn't smoke. It wasn't an issue."
