Former defensive end R.K. Russell was selected in the 2015 draft by the Dallas Cowboys. He also spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills before retiring in 2018. Following his NFL career, Russell became a writer and advocate whose work has appeared in publications including The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. In 2023, he published The Yards Between Us: A Memoir of Life, Love, and Football, which explores his experiences in the NFL and his life beyond the game.
