When you think of great athletes, a few guys come to mind: Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson, Michael Phelps, Simone Biles, lately maybe Zion Williamson or Sabrina Ionescu
But you can take any of those athletes, brilliant talents though they are, and not one of them could do what Carl Joseph did: compete on one leg.
Joseph excelled in football, where he was a superb linebacker, and basketball, where he could dunk, and also blow by guys. He also competed in track and field
He grew up poor on a tobacco farm and said that the kids he grew up with just accepted him and never treated him any differently so he never thought of himself as limited.
