Wednesday's Child: Josh
Watch the story
May 2, 2012 at 8:52 AM

Pinellas Park, Florida -- I met Josh at Freedom Lake Park and within minutes, he let me know he is a big football fan. He says he would love to play in the NFL one day.

Josh is 11 years old, but he talks football like a seasoned vet.

See Also: More Wednesday's Child stories...more on 10 News

This football fan is also pretty opinionated.  He tells me the Buccaneers had a terrible season last year because they didn't work hard enough.

But he sang the praises of Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman, telling me he's versatile with his running and throwing abilities.

He likes Tim Tebow but predicts  the former Denver player will have a tough time adjusting to being a New York Jet.

To find out if he was really serious about playing football, I put Josh to the test and had him run through some drills.
