My Take

Tyler Thigpen's story lands with me because of one detail: he was the first quarterback to play for Coastal Carolina. Being the trailblazer is a thankless, lonely job, and going on from there to be drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the seventh round of the 2007 draft makes the small-town-to-NFL leap all the more satisfying. Coming out of Winnsboro, South Carolina, he embodies the kind of path I always root for: no pedigree, no shortcuts, just a guy carving a road where none existed. I respect anyone who turns being first into being remembered.
