Youth Football: My Kid’s Going Pro
Let’s be real: your kid is probably not headed to the NFL. I know you think he’s a superstar, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the chances are slim. I’ve done a bit of digging into the stats. Here’s the breakdown: over a million kids play high school football. Out of that number, only about 80,000 make it to college football, and even fewer—roughly 1 in 325—actually get drafted into the NFL. In reality, only around 250 kids will even get the opportunity to pursue a pro career. Those odds aren’t in your favor.
Now, consider the unlikelihood of two kids from the same town on the same youth football team both making it to the NFL. Yeah, it’s not happening. So, how do I know your kid won’t be a pro? Because he’s on the same team as my child, and let’s be honest—my incredibly talented (and well-mannered) kid is definitely going to make it! They can’t both be pros, right? But don’t be disheartened; this is actually great news for you. Instead of daydreaming about your kid’s future NFL stardom, you can simply kick back and enjoy the game for what it is—a fun experience.
Now, let me share why I’m confident my little champ is destined for greatness. First off, he’s absolutely adorable. Just look at NFL legends like Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, and Brett Favre—cute kids who grew up to be eye candy on the field. So, naturally, my little cutie is a shoo-in, right?
He also has an impressive throwing arm. Seriously, he can launch that football with pinpoint accuracy and power. Just the other day, he shouted, “Think fast!” and tossed the ball at me. Let’s just say I didn’t think fast enough, and it hit me square on the head. Ouch, but I felt so proud! Plus, his throws spiral beautifully—almost every single time. You might think your kid has a good arm too, but… no.
My little superstar is also a fantastic catcher, kicker, runner, and blocker. If we can just get him to run a bit faster, he could probably throw to himself! I’m convinced the coaches are keeping him off the field for some plays just to avoid making the other kids feel inadequate. Kudos to the coaches for that; they clearly see the genius here.
Another sign of his NFL potential? He thinks about football constantly. Well, most of the time, at least. When he’s not daydreaming about Minecraft, trying to dodge homework, or thinking about snacks, he’s all about football. He claims it’s not on his mind, but we all know how kids can be.
Now, I’m not saying my kid is better than yours; I can’t really judge since I haven’t paid much attention to your child. But I’m pretty sure my son is the best out there. If you watched him, you’d probably agree. After all, he’s my pride and joy! I do find it a bit odd when parents think their kids are perfect, though. Come on, get real!
