As a youngster playing pee wee football I played on the line. I assumed I must not be very good at football because I played on the line. The fact that a team needs more good lineman than it does quarterbacks is a mathematical truth that my young mind could easily grasp, but to me the game was all about flash.
The first Georgia Bulldog that I remember being enthralled by was Hines Ward. I remember watching him play tailback, receiver and quarterback. Still in my single-digits when Ward starred at UGA, I knew little about football, but enough to know that playing three different positions and playing them well wasn’t totally normal.
