Miami Dolphins rookie Nolan Carroll living his dream


This feature on Miami Dolphins rookie Nolan Carroll was probably my most difficult assignment and yet probably my most rewarding. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day I was so sick I couldn't even stand up with a fever, severe headaches, and extreme hot and cold chills. I had to get to the stadium early to get my credential for the one o'clock game Sunday after Christmas. The weather in Miami that morning was extremely cold and windy and my body was wet all over so I was hot and freezing all day at the same time.

I found me a spot in the end zone that was somewhat blocking the wind and pretty much stayed there the whole time. The other difficult part of this assignment was Nolan was a kick returner and only touched the ball a couple of times with a play or two at cornerback on defense.
