I remember the day I decided I wanted to be an NFL player, because it was the day my life changed forever.
I was eight years old.
It was a Sunday, and my family was doing what we did every Sunday during football season: gathering around the TV to watch the games.
My older brother wasn’t there, but my best friend Dane was with me, and we were both huddled together on the couch.
We were also fighting over the throw blanket because Dane kept pulling it up over his head, leaving me out in the cold.
"Stop being a pig," I punched him in the arm.
He grinned and pulled the blanket back down to our waists.
"Sorry."
But he wasn’t sorry at all.
We both knew that if Mom had been in the room, Dane would’ve handed the blanket over immediately, but since she was gone, he was taking full advantage of his position as my friend.
I glanced up at the TV and watched in awe as Marshawn Lynch ran down the field, dodging defenders left and right.
"He’s so cool," Dane said, and I couldn’t help but agree with him.
Lynch was definitely one of my favorite players.
When he got to the end zone, he did his signature move, throwing the ball up in the air, and I couldn’t help but laugh at his antics.
Standing up on the couch, I grabbed the TV remote and tossed it high in the air like a football.
Dane scrambled to catch it before it hit the floor, knocking over his cup of soda in the process.
I leapt off the couch and did my best Lynch impression, dodging imaginary defenders and throwing the remote in the air.
"Touchdown!"
I shouted.
Dane caught the remote and threw it back to me.
"Go again," he said.
I was about to run my route when I heard my dad’s voice behind me.
"What’s going on here?"
I turned around to see him standing in the doorway, looking at the mess we had made.
But instead of getting angry, he started laughing.
"I used to do that too when I was a kid," he said.
"Who was your favorite player?"
I asked him, curious.
"Walter Payton," he replied without hesitation.
"He was amazing. I used to watch him all the time."
He walked over to where Dane and I were standing and sat down on the couch next to us.
"You know, I used to imitate his runs all the time when I was a kid," he said with a smile.
"Show us," Dane said excitedly.
My dad stood up and pulled out his phone from his pocket.
He scrolled through some videos until he found one of Walter Payton running down the field, dodging defenders left and right. "See this?" he asked us, pointing to Payton’s signature move where he would jump over a defender and keep running.
"That’s what I used to do."
He handed us the phone so we could watch the video again, and then he showed us how he used to imitate Payton’s moves when he was a kid.
We watched him run around our living room, jumping over imaginary defenders and throwing the throw blanket in the air like a football.
When he finished, Dane and I took turns imitating Payton’s moves, using the throw blanket as an imaginary football field.
My dad watched us with a smile on his face, clearly enjoying himself just as much as we were.
After a few minutes of running around our living room, my dad suggested that we go outside and practice our moves properly. We quickly agreed and ran upstairs to get our cleats on.
As I laced up my shoes, I knew this was the start of something big.
After practicing Payton’s moves in the yard, we were all sweaty and tired.
As we walked back up to our front steps, I noticed something odd on the ground.
It was a football, but it wasn’t mine.
I had never seen it before.
"Hey, Dad," I said, pointing to the ball.
"Do you know where that came from?"
My dad stopped mid-step and looked down at the ball.
He seemed just as confused as I was.
"I don’t know," he said.
"I’ve never seen that ball before."
Dane walked over to where the ball was lying and picked it up.
He turned it over in his hands, examining it closely.
The ball was made of leather, and it had a strange smell to it.
It was old, but it still felt firm when you squeezed it. As Dane turned the ball over in his hands, I noticed something strange on one of the panels.
It looked like initials, but they were faded and hard to read.
I leaned in closer to get a better look, and suddenly, I could make out the letters "WP" clearly.
"WP?"
I asked my dad, confused.
"What does that mean?"
My dad didn’t say anything for a moment; he just stared at the ball in Dane’s hands.
Then, he reached out and gently took the ball from him.
He held it in his hands carefully, almost reverently.
"It means Walter Payton," he said finally, looking up at me with a serious expression on his face.
