Remember when he first took the field as a Pittsburgh Steelers rookie in 2004 and made everything look so easy, almost effortless? It was as if he had been there and done that, even though we knew he hadn’t. For an NFL novice, Big Ben seemed years ahead of the curve in the process of winning his first 14 starts that season, setting an almost-impossible-to-beat new standard for rookie quarterback success stories.

I took the train out to see Howard on Monday, the day after Everton’s 5-1 win over Hull City and five days after the U.S.’s 2-1 loss to the Netherlands in Amsterdam.

The line of guys going next was all backed up,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta recalls. Though it was early in Lighty’s college career, Matta sensed the kid could be something special. “I told him right there, ‘I’ve never seen anything like that.
