This is the story of the greatest high school football player who never was.
One late summer morning, the high school football team was having try-outs. Just as the tryouts were ending and everybody was leaving, the coach noticed a new kid walking up, sort of hesitantly. The kid apologized for being late, but said he had just moved into town and didn’t know what time the tryouts were. He asked if he could still try out. The coach asked him if he had ever played before. The kid said he had, a little.
Even though the coach really wanted to leave, he decided to give the kid a chance. With everybody else gone, the coach said he would give the kid a tryout himself. When the coach timed the kid on the 40-yard dash, the kid was so fast, the coach thought his watch was broken. The kid kicked field goals from 50 yards out and threw passes that hit the target 40 yards away. He was the best player the coach had ever seen. The coach knew, with this kid on the team, they could beat anybody.
