Two things I think are underrated in life are touchbacks and fruit smoothies. Todd Carter can deliver them both.

At this time last year, Carter was working at the Tropical Smoothie Cafe, blending up Chocolate Chillers and Bahama Mamas for minimum wage. Today, he is a kicker for the Carolina Panthers, making $320,000 on a one-year deal. A pittance by NFL standards, but a mark rarely reached in the smoothie industry.

Love the story.. kind of brings me perspective to a new-found friend in my job who is trying out for Canadian, Arena, and NFL teams as a punter... Had a big contract at one time but broke his leg.. being in sales, the guys kind of snickered about this dude following his dreams..

the ironic thing is most sales people preach walking the "less than traveled path" and yet they can't understand this type of situation...

I'm pulling for Mr Carter....

however, as for the Panthers, I'm hoping our starters and current backups kick the ass of any other camp fodder type players...

I wonder how hard you would have to work to become, say, a WR? Lots of YouTube videos I suppose... pick-up games... who knows?

I'm planing on playing running back and I'm training by going downtown daily and running head on shoulder level in and out through the crowds of people getting on and off the metro train during rush our. If I get there fast enough to snag a seat on the train I scream touch down.

I'd love if he could make the fans smoothies after he kicks off
