The Number One Draft Choice The last dilemma seemed hard, but, basically, it was solved by a phone call.
Now imagine you’re a promising quarterback. In fact, you’re the winner of the
Heisman trophy, college football’s highest award. You’re the top draft pick of
the Philadelphia Eagles, the team you’ve always dreamed of playing for. So
what’s the dilemma?
The Second Dilemma. The pressure is overwhelming. You yearn for playing time in
the games, but every time they put you in a game to try you out, you turn
anxious and lose your focus. You were always cool under pressure, but this is
the pros. Now all you see are giant guys coming toward you—twelve hundred
pounds of giant guys who want to take you apart. Giant guys who move faster
than you ever thought possible. You feel cornered…helpless.
