I flew past everybody straight to Jim Hardy (one of our WRs). But at the last second, an interception that was my first day at the training camp, my first snap. I screamed in rage.
That night when I was about to leave the camp when the coach called me over I knew I was done for. He said “follow me we need to talk…”
When I arrived at the office he “said take a seat”.
“Ok I know you are trying your best but we might have to cut you if you don’t lock in.”
I sat there for a minute or two before I broke the silence.
“ I really am trying to do my best but I…”
” DON’T CARE” said the coach “ YOU WILL GET CUT, FIGURE IT OUT.” he told me. I went into my car and drove out.
When I was driving home I was muttering to myself the whole time about how stuipd that
dream of mine was. To be in the NFL. I saw a gas station and decided to stop and get a snack and some gas. When I went in, I heard a lot of screams. I walked in and I said “What’s wrong?” That’s when I saw him, a short guy, 5 foot 6, mask, with a glock. I started panicking.
He said, “Go to the ground with your hands behind your back.”
I went to the ground.
He said, “Give me your money.”
I said “no,”
He pointed the gun at me as I rolled out of the way. He fired again and missed his shot. I jumped up on him and he fell to the ground. I grabbed his gun and threw it to the side. Just as the cops came in and arrested the guy, they said thank you but next time not do that again.
I got into my car and drove home. I wasn’t really thinking about the chance of being cut off the Chiefs roster. I was just thinking about how I almost died. I was so busy thinking about that that I zoned out and wasn’t paying attention to the road. “BOOM” everything went black.
I woke up in the hospital and I screamed, “What is going on?”
The nurse came over and said, “You were hit by a deer while on the road.”
“Ok, I need to go to football practice. How long has it been?”
“About that… you might want to talk to your coach.”
I thought to myself, “Oh no, I got cut, didn’t I? Then the coach walked in with a worried look.
He said, “Tim we got a problem”
“What” I said.
“Well it’s been 5 months.”
“ FIVE MONTHS!” I screamed. I looked outside and I saw it was fall outside.
“And even worse” said the coach.
“What could be possibly worse?”
“Jones has been injured”
“ Oh crap”
“Yep,” said the coach, “we need you to play and you’ve been in a coma for 5 months.”
The next day I went to practice and everybody was depressed. I knew what they were thinking, “We are cooked.”
When the coach said “starters,” he didn’t sound happy. I went out very nervously. I snapped the ball. I was very rusty and I almost dropped it. I scrambled down to the 10 yard line for a first down. This was my chance to prove myself. Down, set, “hike” . I snapped the ball and I saw an opening. I let it fly, straight dot to his chest
“ Touchdown,” said the coach, smiling.
My other teammates were shocked alright Everybody said the coach practice is over we all went home the next day was the first game.
I woke up early in the morning and drove to practice. We warmed up and drove to the Bronco stadium. We didn’t win since 2025 with Patrick Mahomes now in 2100 we had not been in a Super Bowl since then so when we arrived we warmed up then the announcer said let the game begin and I went on the field and said “hiiik”
