Here we are in the weirdest of off-seasons, shrouded in the specter of a post-COVID-19 world, wrapped in the clutches of Jack Easterby’s pro sports equivalent to a suicide pact, pulled along in the wake of some of the worst, franchise altering decisions an NFL team has ever made in a short time span.
And, it’s here and now that five young men had their dreams of reaching the NFL come true.
This has all the makings of a Greek tragedy.
A beleaguered organization rotting from within. Beloved superstar falls from grace. Fresh, young protagonists enter an uncertain future.
