When Blake and Reid Ferguson were growing up in Georgia, playing football in the yard with their dad, they made three goals for themselves. The first was to play the sport on Friday nights, in some of the most football-crazed stadiums in metro Atlanta. The second was to suit up for Saturdays, in the cathedrals of the Southeastern Conference. And the third and final goal was to take the field on Sundays, in the NFL.
Reid Ferguson has reached that final stage — playing with the Buffalo Bills — and Blake, a senior at LSU, seems to be on his way in following in his big brother’s footsteps.
