Being small is usually an advantage because he's fast.

I've played football exactly 3 times in my lifetime (Jr. High P.E. and 2 "PowderPuff" games in high school). And I've broken exactly 2 bones (fingers) in my lifetime: both while playing football. So I've hung up my "cleats", as well. Well, at least you had the one high.

I never knew how the legend began. I don't know if it's any better to grow up playing football, to be pretty fast as a youngster (the most important quality for football at ages < 10), and then see your "glory" fade. I was pretty fast as a child - say until grade 8 when actual athletes begin to emerge. Then as I lost ground in the quest for speed, my large frame (which seems to have maxed out at 145lbs in 10th grade) became a real handicap. If you think small is bad, try thin, slow, and cocky - from my glory days in elementary school. Wow! I never knew how the legend began.
