Ladies and gentlemen, hard work pays off. No. Let’s not start there. Let’s go even deeper than that. How about this? Sometimes, nice guys finish first. Look no further than Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams.
Thanks to television contracts and regional coverage, we’re guessing that, while growing up in his hometown of Warrington, Pennsylvania, Adams must have seen an Eagles game or two on television. As a senior at Central Bucks High School South, just one year after tearing his ACL, he rushed for 1,623 yards and 25 touchdowns.
USA Today saw fit to name him as a member of the All-USA Pennsylvania Football Team.
