Quarterback-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Adrenaline It’s first down and I’m on offense, I’m also our running back. Quarterback gets the snap and hands it off to me, I start to run. Then there was their biggest player. Right in front of me, next thing I know he is on the floor and my coach yelled “Good stiff arm!”, but I hadn’t known that I did it. I got passed their whole team and I can see the fake grass shining in the floodlights. The bleachers shining metallic grey, and I can see the end zone just a few steps away, I close my eyes and keep running. And when I open my eyes, I’m standing in the end zone.

Today is the day that people try out for the high school football team, and I’m going to try out, to make the team. We had done tackling practice, running drills, passing

    In the course of the 30 to 20 victory the Bucs did the Dolphins an unexpected favor. That was the injury to starting QB Jay Cutler, in the 3rd quarter. Typically any injury to your Quarterback is devastating to the team; we'll take Cutler as the exception to this rule though. Whilst Jay Cutler was under center, Miami were struggling to move the ball through the air and potentially making pundits wonder why the Tampa secondary was considered so bad.…

    My sunburn lines between my shorts and socks symbolized the restless, tiring hours spent out on the field. Every Tuesday and Thursday, for two and a half hours, the sun scorched my body while my legs would scrape into the ground. The cluster consisted of the seniors’ looming bodies that would go shoulder to shoulder against my own freshman self as our feet would battle for control. While this exhaustion enthralled and encouraged my game, the sprints, planks, runs, and more caused me to dread going to that grassy field every week. The humidity produced heavy, useless pants from my lungs as my throat would feel as if it was closing in from a claustrophobic nightmare.…

    I got in my running stance; right leg forward, left leg back. The quarterback yells “Hike!” I launched from the half field line, I take a quick left, I look back and the ball is flying my way like a missile; I catch it as if I had hands like Odell Beckham. My friend Bryan has cover on me. Now, Bryan sort of looks like the Hispanic version of DJ Khaled except without the beard.…
