I’m sure you’ve heard about Jake Witt and his rise to the top of the NFL draft. When he emerged as a potential top draft pick, there was some apprehension about his size. “Is he big enough to compete at the highest level of football? Can he make an impact as a professional athlete?” were some of the questions people asked.
I’m sure like me, you questioned if he had what it takes to become a successful NFL player. Surprisingly, his size, agility and attention to detail didn’t matter in the end. He was chosen in the first round by the New York Giants.
When I heard he was selected for his skills and not just his size, my heart swelled with pride. After all, Jake was a small-town lad from my home state. He was a powerful reminder that hard work pays off regardless of where you come from.
His story resonates so deeply with me because starting out on a low footing 18 years ago, I desperately wanted to make it big in the world of sports. It seemed so far-fetched, but then I heard about Jake and it gave me hope.
I love witnessing someone with the odds stacked against them persevere through obstacles and reach success. It’s truly inspiring to see them exceed expectations against the higher standard when compared to those who have advantages in their lives.
No matter how big the obstacles were, Jake stayed focused and worked hard to reach his goals. Even in the face of criticism, he never gave up and always found a way to come out the victor. His attitude and determination are downright admirable!
With Jake’s newfound success in the NFL, he serves as a shining beacon of hope for people across the country. He reminds us that it’s never too late to focus on and pursue your dreams. Here’s to Jake becoming a source of inspiration far and wide!
