(S2) - Weekend PT #6 - Childhood Hero - bovovovo - 08-20-2017
Bork Bjornsson’s childhood hero was none other than the legendary James Harrison, AKA “Silverback” AKA “Mr. Monday Night.” Bork has fond memories of watching Pittsburgh Steelers games and loving the dominance that James Harrison brought to the table. Harrison was one of those guys that offenses could never seem to really stop… he had that “it” factor… that special something that Bork always looked up to and tried to emulate in his own games.
Even today, Bork Bjornsson admires his childhood hero. He fondly watches James Harrison’s Instagram videos of his workouts that make Bork shake his head in disbelief. Seriously, you should look up James Harrison’s Instagram and just check out his workout videos. Bork has made it a hobby to try and copy some of James Harrison’s workout routines, including sumo belt squats, decline tricep barbell extensions, and one handed barbell shoulder lifts.
Bork personally credits James Harrison with motivating him to make the position switch from defensive tackle and defensive end, but still emphasizing his strength. Bork has lately been modifying his play style to mirror James Harrison, even though Bork does technically play a different position. Nonetheless, Bork has found himself not only a childhood hero, but a current example of how to achieve long-lasting dominance in the game of football.

Larry Legend, Sticky Fingers, The best hands in the NFL or Larry Fitzgerald. Call him what you what but this man is undoubtedly one of the greatest to ever player the game. Lavelle has really only been following NFL very closely the last 4 years or so, less closely the years before. Being from Ireland doesn't exactly leave you with an opinion on which teams you choose to support. You could choose the Patriots, you could choose the Seahawks, heck you could choose any team that was successful in recent memory, but if you don't connect with that team, with them players over something, is it really your team? Fitzgerald has spent his entire career at the Cardinals, he never asked for a trade once, and has been confident in the team his entire tenure. Whether it was one of the terrible 4 5-11 seasons we've had or the heartbreak in 2008 to the Steelers, Larry's head never once dropped. Regardless of Lavelle's career in the NSFL, however fruitful or successful it may be, his biggest regret of all will not being able to see Fitzgerald life the Lombardi Trophy in his lifetime. While an NSFL championship, multiple pro bowl selections and a HOF place would be nice, a ring for Larry is the dream.

I was raised a fan of the New York Football Giants. Brandon Jacobs was one of my favorite players to watch because he was a huge man for a running back and would plow people over. He seemed to get better against division rivals and always crushed the Cowboys, Eagles, and Redskins. This is the running back I would like to be like. A ball of destruction that people do not want to take down. I'm the Earth and Reg Mackworthy is the fire of our backfield.

Long before he enrolled there, receiver Bailey Cook knew he would be a member of the Florida State Seminoles. That was his dream school from the day he was old enough to consider such a thing. He had always watched the televised games on Saturdays in his hometown of Tallahassee, the capital of the state of Florida.
So as a wide receiver in youth football, middle school and high school, there was one guy he always looked up to, someone many consider to be the best pass-catcher to ever grace Florida State.
That man is Anquan Boldin.
The receiver had a great line at FSU before making it big in the NFL, most notably with the Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers and now the Buffalo Bills.
He is also a stand up guy off the field, another reason Bailey Cook looks up to him. Cook always strives to be a model citizen, and Anquan Boldin has won the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award at the NFL Honors, exemplifying what it means to be a top player on the turf and off it.
While Cook has learned from watching countless games and countless receivers, Boldin is the one that means the most to him because of his college ties and his recognition for work outside of football!

My hero is Trent williams. Trent is one of the best offensive line men in the entire sport of professional football. Trent has helped many rookies and different quarter backs have good seasons with the Redskins. Robert Griffin the third and also Kirk cousins. I think Trent williams is the best offenisve line man in the entire national football league and I want to be as good as him here.
(S2) - Weekend PT #6 - Childhood Hero - Oles - 08-20-2017
Written: Write about your favorite player growing up. Why were they your favorite?. Must be at least 200 words
Growing up Oles was more into baseball than football, and growing up watching the Orioles be a miserable team for so long there was one player Oles was drawn to, and that player was Brian Roberts. As a second baseman growing up Oles always wanted to be like Brian, a reliable second baseman able to get on base and help the team out by providing the opportunity to score early and often. It seemed like Roberts was always on the field, and even with how miserable the team was otherwise he stuck through the bad teams for as long as he played, only leaving when it was clear the Orioles no longer needed his services. He always provided a beacon of hope, and was always reliable and useful to his team, and that inspired Oles to want to do the same. Oles has always wanted to be able to help his team in anyway, and when he started playing football he always wanted to emulate the speedy second baseman who always seemed to help the team. Although football and baseball are nothing alike, Brian Roberts possessed a lot of qualities that would be helpful to a player on either sport, and that is what Oles wants to emulate as his career goes on.

Couta was the golden leg. One of the best footballers and leaders of all-time.
