ARLINGTON, Texas — On a gray Wednesday, just windy enough to make two Wyoming products feel at home, a mix of middle schoolers and future millionaires took part in the most basic of football drills. Handing the ball off, playing catch, knocking tackling dummies to the turf. The game of football, simplified.
It's a game that will soon become a vocation for the taller, more muscular portion of the group. But before they play one more down of football, they will step inside the behemoth of a stadium that sat in the distance — looming or beckoning, depending on each NFL Draft prospect's anxiety levels.
