Long before the name Mark Teague became known nationally in football coaching circles, he was like any other ordinary kid growing up in the South. He loved sports; had a vivid, creative imagination; and was a dreamer. He learned early on that life has a way of presenting obstacles that often stand in the way of those dreams.
