"I wouldn’t say it’s more so a setback, I’d say it’s more so a blessing,” Murray said. “If you look at it the way I have and my family has, it is a blessing. For me, I learned how to be selfless at an extremely young age. I learned what true gratitude is at an extremely young age because of what I went through. When I was growing up, my mom and my dad did some things that were true acts of selflessness. Around the age of 11, my parents adopted three special-needs kids.”

According to NFL.com, it was 2009 when Murray’s parents, Kenneth Sr. and Dianne, learned of a family being investigated by Child Protective Services. As the pastor of a Baptist church in Missouri City, Texas, Kenneth Sr. had a heart to help those in his church, so he and Dianne agreed to take care of the children while the biological parents tried to get approval from CPS.

However, the parents were never deemed fit to take care of Nyia (the oldest sister, 8 years old at the time), Lenny (3) and James (a baby). So instead of letting the children be separated and put into foster care, the Murrays legally adopted all three.

“That’s a time that my parents were leaning on me a lot given that I was the oldest,” Kenneth Jr. added, “It really forced me to be what you guys see on the field now, which is the product of a kid that’s a go-getter. … It’s definitely a situation that molded me and made me who I am today.”
