Cortez Kennedy took a young Shaun Alexander under his wing … schooling him on life skills that he used during his All-Pro career … the star running back tells TMZ Sports.
We talked to Alexander about the passing of his former teammate and friend … a guy Alexander says was instrumental in his career.
Shaun reminisces about a day back in 1990 when Kennedy and Ricky Watters invited S.A. to chill and watch the Miami vs. Notre Dame football game.
There were nachos … and a lot of life advice … from how to spend money, to getting married.
Dennis Erickson – who coached Tez at the U and in the pros at Seattle — echoed Shaun’s praise of the HOF’er … saying Kennedy was just as great off the field as on it.
