NFL Veteran Turned Media Star Shares a Surreal Moment With a Bibliophile in a Bookstore

For an NFL enthusiast, meeting his favorite, his hero, is the best thing to happen. But this time, an ex-NFL athlete had his moment recently. Emmanuel Acho recently had a moment while traveling somewhere, and his wordsmith side got recognition. He also shared it over social media for everyone to see as well.

Emmanuel Acho came off as a defensive giant in his run. He was a sixth-round, 204th overall draft pick by the Cleveland Browns. Acho transitioned into broadcasting as an analyst after his playing career, primarily with the Philadelphia Eagles. In 2018, he switched to ESPN and FOX, contributing to the network’s studio showcases and rapidly proving himself as one of the sport’s leading voices.

 Emmanuel Acho in a Chance Encounter

Emmanuel Acho shared a clip on Instagram, sharing a moment he recently encountered. The video shows him at an airport bookstore. It is unknown whether he was departing or arriving at the place. At that time, he discovers a woman purchasing the book ‘Illogical: Saying Yes to a Life Without Limits.’ Acho wrote the book and is an author apart from his analyst role.

He captions the video, “A beautiful encounter with a stranger. #BeIllogical #IllogicalBook.”

The former NFL OLB then leaves an autograph on the book’s first page. It was a sweet gesture from one of the faces of FOX Sports, who is also a New York Times bestselling author for one of his books.

Second-year quarterback Trey Lance is finally having his moment as a starter. The Jimmy Garoppolo case is a confusing situation, and the trade storyline moves forward. But Emmanuel Acho is not confident about Lance, who might begin in Week 1 this year. Acho states, “One play Trey—two out of ten. And only because I’m trying to be somewhat nice. Trey Lance, from everything I’ve heard from people within the locker room, people outside the locker room, he just ain’t it.” 

The ‘One-play Trey’ refers to the fact that Lance only began two games in the previous season. Jimmy G did not take part in the majority of the training sessions. By being present for offseason workouts and OTAs, Lance took over his new top spot as the presumed starter.
