The night before he was drafted, wide receiver Josh Doctson stood on the Head & Shoulders (one of his sponsors) red carpet with his mother, Tracy Syler-Jones, to this point the professional culmination of their long journey together.
Syler-Jones serves as TCU's vice-chancellor of marketing and communications and raised both Josh and his brother as a single parent for most of their formative years. Te next day, she would hear her son's name get called by Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"I think as moms we really do our best to pour ourselves into our children and really give them the guidance they need to be successful," she said. "It's been great fun watching Josh. We've had our moments. I think we're determined individuals. So that's been at times fun and at times challenging. But you don't want to break your children. You want to mold them and shape them so that they can become the true successes that they need to be in this life and in this world."
"[She's] somebody that's going to be the ultimate support line you can ever imagine,"
Doctson said of his mother. "Even when you don't want the support, it's there. And with the negativity and the positivity and all of it, it's just the truest for of support from her and it's a selfless act. She's been tremendous for me and the family."
