"I suck without you."
"No way Rico!"
"You're just really caring."
"I really appreciate you."
Rico inches close to my face, but stops.
Why is he restricting himself?
It's so obvious he wants to kiss me.

The Minnesota Vikings draft a new wide reciever in the 2023 NFL Draft, first round pick Rico Henriquez Moss from Ohio State. He is the youngest son of the legendary Randy Moss and that fact alone has everyone watching him extra closely. Rico definitely feels the pressure as he finds himself struggling harder than he's ever struggled with anxiety and his lack of self confidence. He prevails thankfully while not allowing himself to fall apart or open up, on the surface giving his all to his new team and making them very aware of his dedication on continuing his father's legacy. His teammates flock to him almost immediately, but some like him WAY more than others. Who likes him the most?

Fellow wide reciever Justin Jefferson, this year is far from Justin's greatest as a hamstring injury throws a wrench in his season, but that doesn't stop the natural connection between him and Rico from brewing. If anything, it only turns up the heat, once Justin realizes his true feelings for the rookie he can't act on them. He has to focus on getting better for the team, but it's hard to concentrate on that when Rico's always there. How can he put his feelings on hold? He's never craved a man like Moss' son before, never. Justin's sexuality is in shambles, meanwhile Rico is embracing his. Will Justin take the biggest risk of his career and confess his feelings for his teammate? Or even bigger come out to the public despite the NFL's very homophobic fan base?

Meanwhile, will Rico allow himself to heal his past scars or will he continue to allow them to sting? How long until his facade crumbles and his secrets are spilled?

"When I think of you and me, everything that we could be I could see a family, baby in the backseat, right now it's a fantasy but I'm thinking that could be us"
