Early life
editBorn in Brooklyn, New York City, Grant was raised in Newark, New Jersey and attended East Side High School, where he played organized football for the first time despite having been told as a freshman that he was too small, at 140 pounds (64 kg), to play the sport competitively.[1]

Accessed October "'If you knew where he came from, what his background was, you'd know what I'm talking about,' said Bert Nanhoff, Grant's football coach at East Side High in Newark and now a guidance counselor at a suburban school in northern New Jersey.... That determination showed up early, because Manhoff once told Grant, then a puny 140-pound freshman, that he was simply too small to play high school football."
