John Washington and Football: A Real Story
Alright, let’s talk about this fella, John Washington, and his football thing. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I heard some things, seen some things, and I’ll tell ya what I know. This John Washington, he’s a big deal now, a movie star and all that fancy stuff. But before all that glitz and glamour, he was just a young fella tryin’ to make it in football.
Now, I hear he was a pretty good runner, ya know, carryin’ the ball and all. At some college, Morehouse, I think they called it, he was the best runner they ever had. That’s somethin’, ain’t it? All them young fellas, and he was the fastest, the strongest. Must’ve eaten his Wheaties, I reckon.
- College Star: He was a real star in college, the best runner they had.
- NFL Dreams: He wanted to play in the NFL, the big leagues.
- Rams Tryout: He even got a chance with the St. Louis Rams.
So, he’s runnin’ and dodgin’ and makin’ touchdowns, and folks start noticin’. He’s thinkin’, “Maybe I can make it to the NFL, the big time.” And who can blame him? Every young fella dreams of playin’ in the NFL, makin’ the big bucks, gettin’ famous. It’s like winnin’ the lottery, only you gotta sweat a whole lot more.
He signed with the St. Louis Rams, yeah, them fellas with the horns on their helmets. But things didn’t quite work out, see? They let him go. Just like that. One day you’re in, the next day you’re out. That’s the way it goes sometimes, life ain’t always fair. He was an undrafted free agent, which means nobody picked him in the draft. So, he had to try out and earn his spot. But it wasn’t meant to be, I guess. The Rams, they didn’t keep him long, let him go before the season even started.
Now, some folks might get discouraged, give up on their dreams. But not this John Washington. He’s a tough one, I tell ya. He didn’t let that stop him. He went on to do other things, big things. He became a famous actor, just like his daddy, Denzel. You know, that fella from all them movies. I saw him in somethin’ once, can’t remember what it was called, but he was good. Real good.
This John Washington, he was born in California, Los Angeles, I think it was. That’s a long ways from here, that’s for sure. Born in 1984, on July 28th, if I remember right. That makes him… well, never you mind how old he is. It ain’t polite to talk about a fella’s age. And there’s another John Washington too, born in February, on the 20th. But that ain’t the same fella, see? This one, the football player, he’s the one we’re talkin’ about. He played running back, that’s the fella who carries the ball. He was good at it, real good.
Football and Family: The Washington Legacy
It’s funny how things work out, ain’t it? You try for one thing, and end up doin’ somethin’ completely different. But that’s life, I reckon. Always throwin’ you curveballs. This John Washington, he probably thought he’d be playin’ football forever. But fate had other plans. And look at him now, a big movie star. Who woulda thunk it?
Now, there’s that other football team, the Commanders. They play in the NFL too. But they ain’t got nothin’ to do with John Washington, as far as I know. They play in the NFC East, whatever that means. Football’s got all these divisions and conferences, it’s enough to make your head spin. I just like watchin’ the fellas run and catch the ball, that’s all.
So, John Washington, he went from runnin’ on the football field to actin’ on the big screen. That’s quite a change, I’d say. But he’s a talented fella, that’s for sure. He’s got that somethin’ special, that star quality. And he probably learned a lot from playin’ football, ya know? Discipline, teamwork, hard work. Them things come in handy no matter what you do in life. He’s won awards for his acting, too. NAACP and Outstanding awards, whatever them are. Fancy stuff, I tell ya.
And let’s not forget, he’s Denzel Washington’s son. That Denzel, he’s a heck of an actor. Been in a million movies. So, maybe it runs in the family, this talent for bein’ in front of the camera. It’s like some folks are just born to be stars, and this John Washington, he’s one of ‘em. Whether it’s football or acting, he gives it his all.
From Gridiron to the Big Screen: A Journey
So, there you have it, the story of John Washington and his football journey. It wasn’t the journey he expected, maybe, but it got him where he is today. And that’s all that matters, ain’t it? He’s successful, he’s happy, and he’s makin’ his mark on the world. And that’s somethin’ to be proud of, whether you’re runnin’ touchdowns or actin’ in movies.
It just goes to show ya, life’s funny. You never know where it’s gonna take ya. But if you work hard and never give up, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Just like John Washington. He didn’t make it in the NFL, but he found somethin’ else he was good at, somethin’ he loved. And that’s the most important thing, I reckon.
He played professional football, even if it wasn’t for long. And now he’s a professional actor. Seems like he’s always been a professional at whatever he does. That takes dedication, that does. Not everyone has that in ‘em. So good for him, I say. Good for him.
