Just Jack Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 they're drafting 8 year olds... http://sports.yahoo....-184820376.html The Washington Redskins have a pretty good starting running back in second-year man Alfred Morris, but head coach Mike Shanahan and general manager Bruce Allen let a rookie rusher hit the field for one play during practice on Tuesday, and nobody minded at all. The back in question was eight-year-old Lateef Brock, who was born with chronic kidney disease and had a kidney transplant last November. Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Redskins Charitable Foundation, the pint-sized Redskins fan got a call from Shanahan, telling him that he had been drafted by his favorite team, and that he was to report to Redskins Park for Tuesday drills.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Tim Graham Was selected to make the call and inform the 8 year old but once on the phone could not state the name of the team that drafted him. Just that he was drafted by the R word. Add: he was later found at a nearby NFL stadium mistakenly interpreting the cryptic message as another team that had drafted him. He is now a Baltimore Fan.
