And they're like, all right, we're thinking about you.

He's like, whoa, okay.

He doesn't get drafted.

A couple teams call right when the draft ends and extend the training camp offers.

He ends up with the Bengals.

It is the best situation because of their depth chart.

He is going to make the surprise move of an undrafted guy making that roster.

He's leading the NFL in preseason rushing yards.

Every kind of damage, you know, compound fracture, MCLAC, all that stuff.

And he, over the next couple of years, really puts his time in to try to make it back to the NFL.

Then the CFL, and at one point even gives a little time to the XFL.

The XFL.

He really wanted to try to make it work as a player.

But ultimately, this guy just keeps getting handed a tough deal and finding a way through it, finding resilience.

And he actually wanted to get into education to help kids who had come up in tough times like he did.

So while he's trying to make it in football, he's working his way at residential centers for at-risk youth.

Then he goes into teaching and he's trying to help kids and then he becomes a principal.

So like all these ways he's trying to learn how to be an impactful male figure in the lives of young people, especially those who have tough childhoods.

And football starts sneaking its way and everybody hears that he was the big football player.

So he starts coaching and he realizes he can use football to uplift kids and make it even more compelling for them to want to stay in school and learn these lessons by using this sport that he loves.
