Five years after he heard his name called on ESPN's NFL draft coverage as the sixth-round pick of the Carolina Panthers, Tony Pike calls it "a memory that I'll never forget."
"To be able to know it's coming and then a minute later to see your name up there, for me it was an overwhelming feeling of joy and seeing all the hard work pay off," said the 29-year-old Pike, who now tutors young quarterbacks at Beacon Elite Sports Training in Sharonville. "To see the reaction of family and friends, that to me was even more special to be able to celebrate with them."
