Patience pays off for BU's selfless Florence

WACO, Texas -- Nick Florence didn't have to come to Baylor. He didn't have to stay. If football has been his only reason for coming to Waco, it'd be easy to see why he might've gone elsewhere. But Florence did. He stepped in as a freshman when future Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III tore his ACL, then stepped off the stage for the next two seasons while Griffin wrote his legacy. Plenty of quarterbacks would have waved goodbye. Florence didn't.
