Zack Golditch waited and waited for the phone call that would change his life and bring a feel-good story of this year’s NFL draft to fruition. That call from an NFL team never came during the seven rounds of the draft this past weekend, but Golditch, the Colorado State lineman and survivor of the Aurora theater shooting, didn’t remain a free agent for long. Golditch, 23, signed with the Los Angeles Chargers after the draft wrapped up on Saturday, completing his long journey from a gunshot victim in one of the worst mass shootings in American history to an NFL rookie. "I'm super excited. It's been a long process," Golditch told Colorado’s Loveland Reporter-Herald. "It's exciting, because I kind of had an idea the Chargers would be a place I would end up, because they had a lot of interest in me from the beginning. I have a lot of family in Southern California, so it will be exciting to go out there and be close to them, so that's kind of like the icing on the cake. … [Read more...] about Zack Golditch, a survivor of the Aurora, Colo., theater shooting, signs with Chargers

Zack Golditch, a survivor of the Aurora, Colo., theater shooting, could be the feel-good story of NFL Draft
Every year, there are inevitable stories of perpetrators of violence being selected in the NFL Draft. But this year, a victim of senseless violence is expected to be picked, and when he is, survivor Zack Golditch will complete an improbable journey from out of one of the worst mass shootings in history. Golditch, a standout offensive lineman from Colorado State, was shot in the neck while he watched the Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises” at the now-infamous Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colo., in 2012. At the NFL Combine, teams are infamous for asking crazy questions about prospects’ sexuality and home life. Golditch was asked by a woefully uninformed scout if he’s ever dealt with adversity in his life. “I was a 17-year-old kid going to see a movie, next thing you know I might not have come home that night. For me to still be able to play football, to be able to be a normal person and an able-bodied person is great,” the 6-foot-6, … [Read more...] about Zack Golditch, a survivor of the Aurora, Colo., theater shooting, could be the feel-good story of NFL Draft
