Virginia Tech @ Florida State WWE Clip...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJysBlVNdpc

It took some time for me to come up with this clip. I decided to focus on Myron Rolle, who came in with a TON of promise (#1 player in his high school class), had some initial success, then was fairly uneven until this season, where he's been a pass-deflecting machine while stuffing the run admirably.

This is his breakout year, and I compared him to a young wrestler who had success very early in his career but then wandered the wrestling wilderness for a few years until he became a bonified main-eventer.

Let me tell you the story of Randy Orton. He's the son of Cowboy Bob Orton, and his grandfather and uncle also wrestled. He became the champ at 24 - the youngest ever. Then, after a test run with the belt, he would be an afterthough on the main event scene. Sure, he wrestled well, much like Myron played well the last two seasons, but anyone who say him KNEW that better days were ahead. Much like Myron...

Fast foward to October of 2007 (after the video was made). Orton beats Triple H in Chicago at No Mercy (I was there and it was a fantastic match) to become WWE Champion. He stayed champ until April of 2008, winning at Wrestlemania in the process. Orton has solidified his status as a superstar in every sense of the word, and I think Myron will as well, be it on a NFL gridiron or in the medical field. The sky's the limit for both Orton (who's only 28) and Myron. Both men just have to tap their endless potential.

Go Noles!
