Oher’s uplifting story still being written
One of my favorite books of all-time is Michael Lewis’ The Blind Side: Evolution of a game.
Lewis’ book discusses how the emergence of defensive players such as Lawrence Taylor has made the offensive left tackle position the most important in football.
It also features the story of Michael Oher, a 6-5, 300-pound football player who overcame poverty and illiteracy to become a star left tackle at Ole Miss.
Oher is expected to be a first-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, and will likely be on the Bengals’ radar.
Check out this CSTV video for more on Oher’s life:
