The life story of Michael Oher sounds like something out of a movie.
The son of a crack addict, he was a homeless teenager until he met Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy. The Memphis family took him into their home along with their other children, daughter Collins and son Sean Jr.
Eventually, he became a National Football League first-round draft pick, now playing right tackle for the Baltimore Ravens.
Oher's story became central to a book by Michael Lewis ("Moneyball") and was the inspiration for "The Blind Side" starring Sandra Bullock. The film opens nationwide on November 20. Oher also will be playing with the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.
Oher spoke exclusively to Prime News' Mike Galanos about his life, the NFL and the new movie
