The Tackle Box Fishing Report

Focused
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer

The NFL Draft process is exhaustive. It appears to start as each season con-
cludes and officially begins, in earnest, with the NFL Combine in early March.
In reality, the genesis of draft day for teams can trace back years, sometimes to
when a prospect was learning to drive and attending proms. For players, the trail
can be even longer, back to a childhood dream and dusty backyards in neighbor-
hoods nationwide.
NFL teams actually draft a fraction of the total prospects evaluated – each
team is just one of 32 franchises. A far slimmer margin of kids harboring NFL
aspirations, those who daydream through math class about what plays to run at
recess, make it all the way to the league.
With that backdrop, it is no surprise that once a team is actually on the clock
and finally calls out a name, executives in draft war rooms erupt with jubilant
high fives and players, who have instantly fulfilled what is likely a life-long goal,
are overcome with emotion.
It never gets old seeing kids celebrating their selections – the moment when
