If you are familiar with Jay Cue's story (if not, i suggest you go to his wiki page to get up to date) you know that one of the toughest decisions he had to take was to leave his family, soccer and his country behind and travel to the United States to pursue a career in hand egg, sorry, american football.
As one of the brightest soccer prospects in Europe, it was a shocking decision that saw him refuse a lot of big money offers from european giants and go completely alone to the unknown, with no guarantees of success.
Looking at it now, we can say that he was right in trying out this sport, but what if things did not go his way? What if the Portland Pythons did not draft him? What if the Arizona Outlaws had other plans for him, like changing positions or even trading him? Would his career as one of the youngest and better QBs still be the same?
One can only wonder the exact reason why he chose the most difficult road into this sport, but everyone is probably glad he did. And while away from his home country, he is now an ambassador for Portugal and the NSFL.
