As Rams wideout Az-Zahir Hakim grew into one of the game's most electrifying players, he had to hide the existence of his father, who was running from the law
Back in St. Louis, Az waits for his father to be free. "I pray for the day he gets out, because our family has some big plans," he says. "My dad knows what he's done, and he's a better person now because he gets to be himself again. I'm blessed I can be there for him when that day finally comes."
