It was only a flag football game, but Ryan Anderson didn’t care.
The Washington Redskins’ second-round draft pick was then a rising senior at Daphne High School in Daphne, Ala., preparing for his final shot to impress scouts before eventually signing with the University of Alabama. Prior to the season, a 7-on-7 flag football tournament was in order with some local teams in the area and Daphne had lost a couple of its first games.
Anderson's team was in line for another loss against Hueytown, which boasted quarterback Jameis Winston, the eventual 2015 first-round draft pick, when a a near scuffle broke out.
