Holy shit. I was just thinking. Everything aside, imagine being AOC. Dude is kind of a frumpus, average dude. Not super fit or chiseled or anything, but he is Starting Quarterback for the most badass franchise in NFL history. He is out there throwing passes and handing the ball off to some of the best players in the league. He is supported and respected by all these awesome, powerful people, rocking SILVER AND BLACK! He’s not a captain, and me may not make it to next season…
…but imagine being him. That’s all of us. Just a goober, every day joe, out there playing on the fuckin RAIDERS. I can’t even imagine. The stories he’s gonna tell his grand kids. What a cool thing. Good for him!
I get what you’re saying. I think.
Dude only played one and a half years of varsity football and was bound for a D3 school but decided to walk on at Purdue so he would see top level ncaa coaching to have a better shot at becoming a coach after college.
Instead he fucking gives it his all and makes it to starter, has a great run at an underwhelming program, gets drafted, and becomes an NFL starter, even if only for a couple months.
It’s a fuckin legendary story compared to most dudes in the league.
