Hispanic and football Those two words aren't used a lot. There are less than 50 Hispanic NFL players. Jacob Gomez can be one of them. He dreams of playing at Michigan and later going pro. Or at least, if his parents let him. His mom says that football is too dangerous, injury-prone. His dad supports his football dream, but is away from home a lot. Jacob spent years working out and preparing for football under the guise of preparing for basketball. He's ready to say, the least. He has his mind set on joining the varsity team on Bishop Ireton, but when a scout for Potomac, an even better school, sees him, things are going to get interesting. Especially when Jacob is different. He has the ability to play ANY position.
