Come Back Story
Casey Printers was thought to be finished by most after his time in Hamilton. Many wrote off his ability as a Quarterback, just saying he didn't have it anymore. As the face of that franchise, he was forced to carry it on his back and with little success, he failed, and was sent packing. For nearly half the season he sat at home on the couch, watching and waiting for his chance. When ghe finally got it, he didn't disappoint, going 19 for 31 for 339 yards 2TD and 1int. The 1 interception proved to be costly as it was in overtime. It was a great effort none the less, which makes him a great come back story because not many people expected it from him. In a game with playoff implications he had to be in mid season form. I believe he showed more that enough to earn the starting right as Quarterback in this league. It's amazing how different a player looks within different settings.
What have I learned from Casey's story? That despite all the turmoil, all the negativity, and all of those who doubted him, he has overcome so much. From once being the Most Outstanding Player in the League to not having a job, to resurrecting his career. Players who wear #1 wear it for a reason, because they truly believe they are the BEST at what they do. I am honored to have met him during my rookie season. His story has inspired me to keep pushing in hopes of resuming my career. Thank you Casey!
