Cinderella Story

This is about what happened this week at the American National Football League. You don’t need to know about American Football to read this Cinderella story. I will be as non-football as possible. 

In USA, you have to go to college to be recruited as a professional football player. No high school dropouts. Every year they recruit only 262 college players for their professional career. This year the 262nd (last player) (in other words no other teams wanted him) was a player named Brock Purdy. They call that 262nd player as Mr. Irrelevant. The San Francisco 49ers took him as the last Mr. Irrelevant player. 

This week, there was a game between San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay was led by their Quarterback Tom Brady. Brady is considered as the best Quarterback of all times and supposed to be Greatest of All Time. 

Meantime, unfortunately, 49er number one Quarterback and Number two Quarterback were seriously injured. They had no other option but to put their number 3 bench Quarterback into play…this guy 262nd recruit Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy. 

And, you know what happened? Brock Purdy took a class to the Greatest quarterback Tom Brady how to play football. Purdy won 35 to 7 against Brady.

  1. It's funny because Brady also had a famous Cinderella story at the start of his own career.

    1. Thanks for your comments Batman. At the start of his own career there were many people. The best was Joe Namath. Remember him? I guarantee.

  2. The rank does not really matter. It is the skill on the ground that determines.
    The irrelevant became relevant by an astounding show.

  3. There are some advantages of being an underdog. You can try some unconventional techniques without the weight of expectations. Many don't, but this person seems to have capitalized on it. Great for him!

  5. Could I say it's like Federer coming in and beating Pete Sampras in Wimbledon 2001?
