The writer thought a college player Jack Tyler was going to be a great NFL player Lots of pro teams wanted to draft him as soon as he graduated since he was so amazing Noah wasn't convinced Look at this Noah said to the player next to him Adam Glick He didn't look up from the article While he talked he picked up the pen on his notebook and scribbled down some figures This article says Jack Tyler is going to be the next big running back Noah went on But look at these stats from late last season Noah tapped the paper of his notebook and Adam looked down at the page What about them Adam asked
Don't you see Noah said He finally looked up from his article and gazed at Adam In late season games against strong defense he falls apart Noah explained He'll never make it in the pros There's no way Adam frowned You think you know better than this writer does he asked And all those pro scouts You can quote me Noah replied Then he went back to reading his article A few moments later a shadow fell over the magazine Noah frowned He was about to shout Hey get out of my light when Eric Floyd the first string running back came tumbling into him Eric was followed by three linemen from the other team
Noah's magazine and stats notebook went flying He fell backward off the bench and tumbled into the first row of the bleachers His head slammed into the muddy ground with a thud Ugh Noah said He struggled to get up but slipped in the mud and fell right on his face The crowds above him in the bleachers all the cheerleaders and everyone on his team roared with laughter Noah rolled onto his back and looked up at them He was covered from head to toe in mud Even the guys who had been in the game weren't as muddy as he was Get up Noah Coach French shouted He came stomping over Oh man Noah muttered
