Lathan Ransom still remembers what he was like on a football field when he first started playing.
Straight-up bad.
Always the youngest in his age group – he’s still 17 and won’t turn 18 until July – Ransom played with all the older kids of an Arizona youth football league that ranged from 6 to 10 years old, and the 6-year-old hasn’t shaken one particular embarrassing play from those days.
“I remember one time getting stiff-armed, like, I swear it was like a movie, running down the field with my arms out, trying to reach him, and I just could not get him,” Ransom told Eleven Warriors during an interview in January.
