No this isn't Sam Bradford...or Colt McCoy...not even Tim Tebow...but this kid right here could be the best NFL Quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning....but who is he?
His name is Joe Aiken and he is a 22 year old quarterback that attends Southeast Miami University. With no football experience he walked on to the team and threw for a school record 934 yards and 8 TD in his first game. NFL Coaches and Scouts automatically took notice and started to come to his games.
Over the next 12 games Aiken threw for a College Football record 13,456 yards and 78 touchdowns with 0 interceptions.
Where did he come from?...How is he able to put up these type of numbers?...Insiders originally thought it was because of where he plays. But they timed him in the 40 and he ran a 4.1 and he has a vertical of 29 inches. His arm strength has been compared to John Elway on steroids.
The secret he says?..
"My Dreads"-Aiken
Dreads?....so your dreadlocks are the reason that you are so good?..
"Yup...I just figured hey..I'm from Miami...I may not be a brother..but I can get dreads and I should be good"
With no experience or nothing?
"Yup...just dreads...I figure everybody in the NFL that has dreads is a beast...so I just figured I'd grow some..it works out for me"
This was Aiken at age 4...when he couldn't even walk straight or spell his name..he would just sit and drool...
Could dreadlocks really be the key to success??
This story is developing..
