Title: NFL Draft...
Post by: Shutterbug on April 26, 2020, 05:12:11 PM
Just found out that the son of a girl I went to high school with has been drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars; went in the 6th round. Check out the phone call and the absolute emotion from this kid:

He's worked his ass off since his freshman year of high school, and the only thing that keeps running through my head is "Tyler's earned this."

Someone called him "lucky" to have such a great opportunity. Well, I believe that "luck" is simply preparation meeting opportunity, and this kid's as prepared as they come...
