Well, let me tell ya ’bout this Tyler Manoa fella and this NFL draft thing. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I hear things, ya know? Folks talkin’ ’bout this draft, and his name keeps poppin’ up.
So, this Tyler Manoa, he’s a big ol’ boy, plays football. Big and strong, like a bull in a china shop, I reckon. They say he’s a DT, a “dee-tee”. Don’t rightly know what that means, but sounds important. Somethin’ ’bout defense, stoppin’ the other fellas from runnin’ around with the ball, I guess.
Now, this “NFL draft”, that’s where the teams pick the new players. It’s like a big ol’ auction, but ‘stead of sellin’ cows, they’re pickin’ these young fellas to play for ’em. And Tyler, they say he might get picked. That’s a big deal, see? Means he’s good, real good.
- They got these “mock drafts”, where folks guess who’s gonna go where. It’s all a big guessin’ game, if you ask me. Nobody really knows for sure ’til it happens.
- But these mock drafts, they got Tyler’s name on ’em. Some say he’ll go early, some say later. Just goes to show ya, nobody really knows nothin’ for sure.
They talk about his “measurables”. That’s how big he is, how fast he is, all that stuff. I hear he’s a big fella, tall and heavy. That’s important in football, I reckon. You gotta be strong to push them other fellas around.

They also got these “player grades”. That’s how good they think he is at playin’. I guess they watch him play and give him a grade, like in school, ya know? But ‘stead of A, B, C, they got numbers and stuff. Sounds complicated to me.
And then there’s his “bio”. That’s just all about him, where he’s from, where he went to school, all that jazz. I ain’t gonna bore ya with all that. But it’s important to them football folks, I guess.
They keep track of his “stats” too. That’s how many tackles he made, how many sacks, all that fancy stuff. I don’t pay much attention to that. Just tell me if he’s good or not, that’s all I care about.
Some folks got these websites where they talk about him all the time. “Pro Football Focus” they call it. Sounds fancy, don’t it? They got all the numbers and grades and stats you could ever want. If you’re into that kinda thing, I guess.
But me, I just wanna know if he’s gonna make it. If he’s gonna get drafted and play in the NFL. That’s the dream, ain’t it? For a young fella like him, playin’ football on TV, makin’ the big bucks. Good for him, I say.
They got these old players and new players, all mixed together in these websites. I guess they keep track of everyone who ever played. Must be a lot of fellas. Football’s a popular thing, ya know?
So, that’s what I know about Tyler Manoa and this NFL draft. He’s a big strong fella, might get drafted, might not. It’s all a big gamble, if you ask me. But I’m rootin’ for him. Hope he makes it big. Go get ’em, Tyler! That’s what I say.
Now, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about football makes a body hungry.
