The Horns drafted for help at an interesting position.
One of the Los Angeles Rams' new draft picks grew up expecting to play in an entirely different sport., Joshua Karty fully anticipated he would be a soccer player.
"I didn't start playing football until I was 14," Karty said. "I never thought I would be playing football at all actually." Karty grew up in a household where he was forbidden from playing football, until he eventually agitated for playing at a no-contact position, after best friend Hiral Patel encouraging him to trying kicking some field goals during a football tryout.
"He came back right after that and said, 'Mom, I know I'm not allowed to play football, but there's this position called a kicker, that you're not allowed to be hit,'" mother Valarie said. "So I signed the form allowing him to play football.""We were playing against Cummings High School, and I look around and there's like 2,000 people around in the high school football stadium," Karty reminisced.
It sure is, as he continued to learn at Stanford. Los Angeles selected the two-time All-American First Teamaer with the No. 209 pick in the sixth round of the draft last month.
