Maurice Christopher Jones-Drew was born March 23rd, 1985, in Oakland, California, to Sidney Gayles and Andrea Drew. Maurice was raised in Antioch, California by his maternal grandparents, Maurice and Christina Jones, and would attend De La Salle High School in Concord. Maurice competed in track and football during high school, playing both linebacker and running back. De La Salle owns the record for the longest winning streak in high school football history, with 151 straight wins, and fortunate for Jones-Drew, his teams were part of that 151 game win streak.
