"Kurt Warner is perhaps the best example in NFL history of a player choosing to never give up on his dream of playing at the highest level. As an undrafted rookie, Warner failed to make Green Bay’s roster and ended up working in a grocery store for $5.50 an hour. Then came his three years in the Arena Football League and a stint in NFL Europe. Warner spent the 1998 season as the third-string quarterback for the Rams and was bumped up to backup in 1999. That’s when Trent Green got hurt and the rest, as they say, is history. Warner would become the conductor of “The Greatest Show on Turf” while throwing for over 4,000 yards and 41 touchdowns. The Rams went on to win the Super Bowl that season with Warner winning league MVP and Super Bowl MVP" - The Sports Drop #LaterThanExpected Available Now - Stream Everywhere #kurtwarner #rams #stlouisrams #greatestshowonturf #nfl #superbowl #mvp #hiphop #music #arenafootball https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdtpCDliil/?igshid=1oc9asnjatkv7

"A sub-six-foot high schooler who grew up in poverty, he went unrecruited by college programs, and after graduation worked a series of odd jobs, most notably as a janitor at Dallas-Fort Worth airport. A late growth spurt shot him up to six feet, eight inches. After spending a year at junior college, Rodman finally got a scholarship to Southeastern Oklahoma State, a Division II school. When he was selected by the Pistons in the second round of the 1986 draft, he was already 25 years old" Later Than Expected available now!!!

I didn't get a chance to post much this week but in celebration of my new project Later Than Expected I'm gonna continue to highlight people who hit their stride a little #laterthanexpected. Salute to Regina King (@iamreginaking ). Living Legend. Planting seeds for as long as most of us can remember ❤ "Her journey exemplifies what is possible when you master your craft and stay the course. Stated simply, she is a legend. In the 34 years since she made her primetime debut as the sitcom 227’s resident teen, Brenda Jenkins, (Regina) King has been a constant presence on film and television screens. Her body of work not only spans decades, but also defies genres" - Written by @reginarrobertson for @essence Cheer For Me - Track 8 Stream in bio https://www.instagram.com/p/B_83Z6QFTCf/?igshid=1agvjcctrntnj

"Withers was a classic late bloomer, yet he had the good fortune to break big just as black popular music was entering a period of relative liberation " - @variety #laterthanexpected R.I.P to the Legend Bill Withers. The fact that the album cover for Just As I Am was really him on his lunch break at work is Legendary by itself Song playing in the last clip "Sunday Dinner" https://www.instagram.com/p/B_v_LedFkoB/?igshid=1vs0fbka3rasi

This weekend is traditionally a big weekend for the Boxing world.. so it's only right to highlight arguably the greatest Late Bloomer in the Boxing world for this Later Than Expected series. S/O to B-Hop (@bhopdaalien) Quoted from @bleacherreport "A combination of a sometimes boring style and an ornery personality kept Hopkins from being a marketable attraction for much of his career. All that changed when he dominated and stopped Felix Trinidad to win Don King's middleweight championship tournament in 2001. At that point, Hopkins was 36 and yet to emerge into his prime as a fighter" #laterthanexpected Song playing on the last picture "Survival (The Hunt) produced by @craftbeatz Stream Later Than Expected now (link in bio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_tXbS6FpSJ/?igshid=19lrshtz57t35

"With so much new music being released, many artists don’t stand a chance at wide embrace without a number of stars aligning. The cusp of @rapsody breakout is owed to years of grinding combined with lyrical talent, a noticeable chasm in the game as it pertains to women delivering substance, and @9thwonder " - Jesse Fairfax - Laila's Wisdom @hiphopdx Review With my album Later Than Expected officially out now.. I'm highlighting some people who hit their stride a little Later Than Expected. I've been a big fan of Rapsody for a long time so it has been great to see her get her Flowers for her work these past few years. #LaterThanExpected The song that's playing in the last picture is "Black Hoodie".
