Michael Oher

I'll be honest, most people know Michael Oher through "The Blind Side," but I always thought that did him a bit of a disservice, because the man was a genuinely great football player in his own right and not just a movie character. At Ole Miss he was a unanimous All-American, and at 6-foot-4 and built like a brick wall, he anchored the left tackle spot the way you draw it up. Then he went out and won a Super Bowl with the Ravens, which is the kind of credential Hollywood can't script for you. I respect that he later pushed back hard on the narrative built around him. He earned his career on the field, and that's the part I think gets underrated.
