Nice piece on Tuileta, where is the incredible part? Do you want to read an incredible piece, look up Mana Grieg's story. 5'10 1/2 walk on to Oregon who rose to be team captain and was awarded a scholarship late in his years at Oregon, and was considered the smallest (no one under 6' starts for any team) in the BCS. Now that is a story. He defied all odds just to make the team let alone have a scholarship and being a starter.

Sorry, I needed to clarify myself, the smallest offensive lineman in the BCS, I heard he was cut on the last day of NFL tryouts. Can someone verify the story. If it is true, it would be more amazing to even be able to tryout, let alone be cut on the last day. If you want to tell your athletes a story of perseverance, this is a story.
