QUARTERBACK CHRISTIAN WRAGGE
Christian Wragge is a 9-year-old football player with an arm of an NFL quarterback. I’m exaggerating, but when you see him throw, the ball spiraling through the air for almost half the length of a football field, hanging airborne for an extraordinarily long time before it drops in the arms of a young receiver, it’s jaw-dropping. He’s in third grade.
I’ve known Christian since he was 3 years old. His mom is our contributing nutrition editor, Sarah Wragge, and his father is CBS News New York This Morning co-anchor Chris Wragge. I follow them both on Instagram, and when Chris started posting videos of Christian playing football, I became obsessed. Yes, they are filmed like NFL highlight reels, but I couldn’t believe the arm on this kid.
