Michael Lewis's book "The Blind Side" tells the true story of Michael Oher. A movie by the same name - starring Sandra Bullock - was released in November 2009.
Currently an offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, Michael Oher overcame a rough childhood with the help of Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, whom he lived with during high school.
Michael's father was mostly absent during his childhood and murdered when he was a junior in high school. His mother was addicted to crack and he moved from foster home to foster home and attended 11 different schools during his first nine years as a student.
Once he transferred to a private school and moved in with the Tuohy's, he raised his 0.9 GPA to a 2.65.
While playing football at Briarcrest Christian School, he caught the attention of many college scouts and was offered scholarships at University of Tennessee, Louisiana State University, the University of Alabama, and North Carolina State University, but chose to go to The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss).
He was a first-round NFL draft pick in 2009 and currently plays for the Baltimore Ravens.
