Congratulations to Michael Oher

Michael Oher, an offensive tackle from Mississippi, has just been selected by the Baltimore Ravens with the the 23rd pick in the draft. For those of you that don't know Oher's story, it is amazing that he is still alive, never mind about to make millions playing in the NFL. Oher never knew his father, and his mother was a drug addict. He repeated both the first and second grades on his way to attending 11 different schools in his first 9 years in school. He would eventually be taken in by the Tuohy family, who would end up adopting him. The Tuohy family helped Oher raise his grades, and he started playing football. By the end of high school his grades were good enough to go to college, and he was the top offensive line prospect in the country. The story of Oher's life was the subject of The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, a book written by Michael Lewis in 2006 that is set to be made into a movie.
