What does it take to grow up in South Central Los Angeles, avoid the pitfalls of gang life, and rise to a 12-year NFL career? In this best-of edition of No Wrong Choices, we revisit our conversation with Curtis Conway — former wide receiver for the Bears, Chargers, Jets, and 49ers, and later a broadcaster with the NFL and Pac-12 Networks.

But this isn’t just a football story. In Part One, Curtis offers a deep and honest look at growing up in South Central at a time of intense violence and uncertainty — and how he found ways to learn from that environment rather than be consumed by it. He explains how the lessons of the street — toughness, leadership, resilience — became the foundation for his career and his life.

From his first love of basketball to his unexpected transition from quarterback to wide receiver at USC, Curtis’s story is about far more than the game. It’s about mentality, perseverance, and finding what you truly love — even when the odds are stacked against you.
