Julian Draxler

Julian Draxler makes me think about the peculiar burden of early genius. A Bundesliga debut for Schalke at seventeen, then the opening goal in that year's DFB-Pokal final, marked him as a prodigy almost before he could process it. Tall at 185 cm, technically gifted as an attacking midfielder, he carried enormous expectation, and even won honors with the German national side. But players who glimpse the summit so young often spend the rest of their careers wrestling with what the world wanted them to become. Now plying his trade in Qatar, the boy from Gladbeck has still seen the world. I quietly keep rooting for him.
