Bosworth, however, wasn't held up as securely and tumbled back onto the ground, losing consciousness once again.
The stunning images of the hit and its aftermath gained notoriety on YouTube and with Internet bloggers. Soon his audience will expand as he stands atop the main stage of the NFL.
In the past few weeks, DeCoud has accepted invitations to meet with front office officials of a few NFL teams. More recently, he has met with the Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins. One would think that a prospective player would be nervous, but that’s not in his nature.
“There’s no need to be nervous," DeCoud explains. "I’ve been walked through the process. It’s kind of like a job interview. They’re just trying to get to know me, and I enjoy meeting everyone.”
The charismatic DeCoud is soaking in every new experience as the NFL Draft approaches. At this year’s NFL combine, there was one moment in particular that stood out in his mind.
“I actually got to meet Deion Sanders,” he revealed with a boyish excitement peppering his voice. “You never expect to meet and talk to someone you’ve admired, and all of a sudden, he was there.”
Days from now, DeCoud will reach the end of his path leading to the NFL. Once he is drafted and signs with a team, he will begin blazing a new path.
With this new life before him, a myriad of emotions must bombard DeCoud, right?
“Actually, I’m okay because all of it is out of my hands now,” he replies with a confidence in his voice. “I’ve done everything I could possibly do. Now I’m just going to sit back and see where the ball bounces.”
