NFL teams are all over this small-school prospect with a penchant for surprise eating.
SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA — Prospect X tightens his grip on his fork. His hand swallows up the frail utensil. He takes a deep breath and sighs it out, shaking his head back and forth to reset. “Come on!” he shouts as he wills himself to take another giant bite. The meat lover’s skillet normally comes with two eggs, but X ordered his with four extra. He’s a regular here at this small-town diner, and the waitress jokes he cleans out their fridge “ordering 25 eggs” each time he comes by.
“Just to make sure you feel seen,” he says. “It’s easy to go through a whole practice and not start and no one talks to you.” X started playing tackle football when he was 6 years old. He tried out flag football the year before but didn’t really understand the concept. “He wanted to tackle people and move people around,” his mom says.
