Dunbar is a predominantly minority neighborhood in Fort Myers. It hasn’t always had the best reputation. However, it is known for the many professional football players it has produced. By the start of this year, Dunbar was the starting point for almost two dozen NFL athletes. The most prominent figure is Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders.
The connection between Dunbar and football is the focus of a new book by News-Press reporter David Dorsey. Dorsey’s book Fourth Down in Dunbar explores what these players have in common and what sets them apart.
