My Take
Charles Cross is the sort of athlete I find quietly thrilling. A 196 cm offensive tackle born in 2000 in Laurel, Mississippi, he went from Mississippi State to the ninth overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft by the Seattle Seahawks, an elite trajectory by any measure. I love that he plays a position that rarely gets glory yet decides games, since protecting the quarterback is the difference between a season and a collapse. There is something compelling about a giant from a small town anchoring a franchise's front line. I hope he enjoys a long, durable career guarding blind sides.
