******LONG POST ALERT******
Maaan. My 7yo had a touchdown run this past Sunday, but when he was coming back to the huddle he kept staring at me and smiling big af. 😅 WEIRD... Because he never reacts after a score, he is usually just on to the next play with not much emotion. I couldn't ask him about it either, because the refs be kicking me off the field for talking to the team. 😂
So after the game, he was doing his lil recap with me and his Momma. And he was like, "DID YOU SEE THAT TOUCHDOWN?!" with that same big weird aaaah smile. 😁 I'm like, "You know I don't miss nothing. You did a great job finding your lane and using your blockers. Then he said, "AAAAND I DID NOT LOSE ANY OF MY SPEED. Like the video." So then I'm thinking, "Video? What is he talking about? Ooooooh."
So rewind. I was watching the draft last week, right? And TreVeyon Henderson for picked up on Friday. One of his highlights was a screen play that he housed. I didn't think much of it then, but it was a nice play so I showed Ky. I said, "This is impressive because he is picking his spots, but he is also not losing momentum on his cuts. He is just going faster and faster."
Now fast forward to game day. I been a daddy long enough to know that kids don't forget anything. It was just extra funny to me because that video was soooooo far from my brain, but Ky clearly still had it on his mind. 😭 I had to find the vid and send it to MY Wife later and she made another funny observation. Ky ran a sweep, but other than that, the plays were almost identical.
Now we gotta follow TreVeyon Henderson for the rest of his career. 🤣
