The NFL for the past several years during the off season has filled tv time with a ten week Wednesday night NFL Top 100 Players. They have made it down to the top 20 and standing at number 22 is Tarboro High's Todd Gurley.
Not bad at all for a player drafted by the then St Louis Rams in the first round and Gurley was recovering from knee surgery that ended his college career before the end of his third season. Top that off the Rams took extra special care and did not let Gurley see the field until the second half of game number three.
All he did was win rookie of the year rushing for over a thousand yards in just 13 games. Now that the Rams call LA home Gurley will now perform in the second biggest market and we all know that if you play in New York the media capital of the world you get extra attention as the greatest players and now with LA and back in the limelight you know Gurley with be on highlight reels every time he carries the ball. If he is the 22nd best player in the NFL and only played in 13 games where would he be if he had of played every game?
Kinston's Brandon Ingram is the property of LA Lakers as he was drafted second in the NBA draft Thursday night. Good time to be a Laker now that Kobe has finally retired.
We all are proud of our children for being the kind of people that they become and some moments they achieve levels in life we never dreamed possible. July my son Brooks who if you have looked at this blog much know that he is a Triathlon coach based in Raleigh and he has been invited to conduct three weeks of training camps for some of the best Tri runners in the USA.
He will be heading to Colorado Springs Colorado to the US Olympic Training Center. Top notch Tri Athlon athletes the best the USA has will work with Brooks a week at the time. It will not happen this Olympic year but a father's hope is I can attend the next Olympics at watch him coach a metal winner.
