One of the Greatest NFL Cinderella Stories (If not, The Greatest!) had to be Kurt Warner! Could the Rams have another Cinderella Story coming up with Texas A&M-Commerce's Luis Perez?

*Never played High School Football (Bowled!)
*Has Bowled 12 Perfect Games
*Started off as the 9th string QB at Southwestern Junior College!!!
*Won Division 11 Title at Texas A&M-Commerce
*Won the Harlan Hill Trophy in 2017

Watching video of this young man you have to be impressed!

Can he make the Rams roster? Won't be easy BUT I don't think I would bet against him!

His ball placement is phenomenal. An order of magnitude better than someone like Josh Allen.

He may not have the biggest arm, but he throws a really, really catchable ball with excellent placement.

I could see him supplanting Mannion after a year on the PS.

He would have to beat out Goff to make it a Cinderella story. And that aint happenin'.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Personally, I think if he makes an NFL Team (The Rams or some other NFL Team) after never playing High School Football and starting his College Career at a Junior College as the 9th STRING QB I would consider that pretty much a Cinderella Story. Maybe, Not as impressive as Kurt Warner's story (Probably won't ever be a Cinderella Story like Kurt Warner's!) but still very impressive.

Ninth string? WTF who has nine QBs on the roster? Don't they have roster limits at the JuCo level?


I hope this kid can play and he is able to unseat Mannion by 2019. If something happens to Goff I doubt Mannion can take the Rams very far.

Kurt Warner beat Trent Green to a Gold Jacket. He was a diamond in the rough that nearly nobody recognized. His story is unmatched. If there any other undrafted/unknown back up QB that made the hall of game? None that I know of in the modern ERA.

agree! I've heard some great stories but noting like Kurt's. I heard they were going to make a movie soon about him?
