One year ago, I wrote ‘90-in-90’, looking at the people behind the players on the Chargers roster. To date, it’s my favorite series I’ve ever written. When it comes to writing, my mantra is ‘write the things you’d want to read.’ Every year, NFL teams have hundreds of kids who have a story worth telling, but are reduced to merely a name and number as they struggle to make it in the brutal environment the NFL produces. 90-in-90 was a chance to tell their story.
I never got to finish 90-in-90, as the workload took its toll, and it flamed out after 43 articles.
