The Real World Cancun’s CJ Talks About His NFL Hopes

There comes a time in many young boys’ lives when they start thinking about what they want to be when they grow up. And often, at least for a week or two, they all believe deep in their hearts that they can play in the NFL, or be a pro wrestler. When my son reached that point in his life, I was way ahead of him. I passionately encouraged him to consider a future in the NFL…as a punter. As a mother, I thought it was the best job in the NFL. I never had to worry about him getting seriously hurt, and if he was on a good team, he’d rarely get to play. He never dignified my suggestion with a response.

I never thought about punters again until this season of The Real World Cancun. CJ, the season’s All-American Boy type, aspires to be an NFL punter. And he actually flew to Las Vegas for tryouts.

ESPN.com has written a piece about CJ, and his dream to be in the NFL. After reading the post I looked at punting in a different way. Punting is one of the hardest positions to get in the NFL, because there are only 32 of them, and because they don’t get a lot of play, they are not quick to retire. But CJ is not discouraged; he actually says that he is on a few teams’ short list. Click here to read the full article.
