As we're getting closer to the day in which many young man's lives will be changed, I want to briefly explain the magnitude of the moment. From April 26-28 many athletes lives will be turned upside down, these days mark the opening and closing of the NFL Draft. Millions of kids all over the world dream of one day having their name called by an NFL team to experience the gift of playing the beloved game of football at its highest level. Each year only 254 names are selected to represent their school in the NFL. The pain, passion, love and heart that goes into this are more than most people can fathom. Athletes day to day grind for the game they love, sacrificing socially, mentally and monetarily to achieve a dream that could forever change the lives of not only themselves, but their families and those around them. The love of the game of football is a common love that many people around the world share, but only so many people get the gift of being able to enjoy it at its fullest extent. The game of football is a release from the daily struggles of lives and the draft only signifies a payment for all the sacrifice put in to achieve this goal. A message to all athletes cherish the gift of being able to walk on that field and express yourself through you're true love and don't ever believe any goal is impossible.
