NFL Coach Deland McCullough Learns His Mentor Is Actually His Dad

Talk about an epic plot twist! Deland McCullough, the running backs coach for the Las Vegas Raiders, uncovered a family secret that could rival a soap opera.

In 2017, McCullough found out that his longtime mentor, Sherman Smith, wasn’t just a coach but also his biological father. Yes, you read that right.

This father-son duo is now not only bonded by blood but also by the game. McCullough said, 'It’s surreal to learn that the person who shaped my career is my dad.'

With the truth finally out, both men are ready to tackle this new chapter together. Family, football, and now an incredible story—who could ask for more?
