Morgan Tattonchantr Pears (born May 4, 1980) is an American former professional football tackle who played one season in the National Football League (NFL) for the New York Giants. He played college football for the Colorado State Rams and was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Miami Dolphins following the 2003 NFL draft.
Morgan Pears was born on May 4, 1980, in Los Angeles, California. Shortly afterwards his family moved to Denver, Colorado, where he would live until his professional football career started. As a child he shared a basement bedroom with his younger brother Erik (born 1982). "I think he hated me until we got into college," he said.[1] "There were just constant battles between us. That basement room just wasn't big enough for us. There are a lot of holes in the wall and ceiling, but we did a lot of stuff together, too."[1]
He attended John F. Kennedy High School in Denver before earning a scholarship from Colorado State University. He joined the university in 1998, and spent the season as a redshirt.[2] He played with their Rams football team for the following four years, earning a varsity letter in each season.[2] His final two seasons were played alongside his brother.
