ONN – Michael Oher has come a long way.
The University of Mississippi’s Michael Oher’s one of the best offensive tackles available in the NFL Draft, so good that he was invited to New York City for Draft Day.

After that talk, Michael Oher was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens where he played from 2009–2013, then after winning the Super Bowl, went to the Tennessee Titans in 2014, then finished out his NFL career with the Carolina Panthers from 2015 to 2016.
The man called Michael Jerome Williams, Jr. failed a physical with the Panthers that year, and suggested the problem was related to concussion symptoms. According to NFL Reporter Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer in June of 2017, Oher posted a photo on Instagram showing 10 prescription pill bottles and with the caption: “All for the brain smh (shaking my head)” – then he took it down.

Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
