The year was 1999. 2 young freshman, Drew Carter and Emeka Onyejekwe aka Mekka Don were living out a dream held by every young boy growing up in Ohio, playing football for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Both had only played one year of organized football at the high school level, but both were blessed with speed, a talent that can't be coached.Buckeye football is a true fraternity and the two developed a close friendship. Their lives took different paths, as Drew went on to get drafted by The Carolina Panthers of the NFL, and Mekka pursuing a career as a lawyer/rapper. Drew recently made a trip out to NY, and a friendly discussion turned into a heated debate about who was the better athlete. There was only one way to settle the debate, by putting on some pads and a helmet and going toe to toe.
