Football star Michael Oher was born on May 28, 1986, in Memphis, Tennessee.

He was one of 12 children born to Michael Jerome Williams Sr. and Denise Oher, who couldn't take care of them.
Michael Sr. was often in prison, and Denise was a drug-addict.
As a result, Michael Jr. was taken to foster homes and sometimes homeless when he ran away from his foster home.
He wasn't a good student, and he went to 11 different schools during his first nine years as a student. Oher's father, was murdered while Oher was in high school.
The young boy was finally taken in by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy when he was 16, and the Tuohys became Oher's legal guardians when he was 17.
Oher began to excel in football. He quickly became a top football prospect in the state of Tennessee. He finally accepted a scholarship offer from the University of Mississippi
In 2006 the author Michael Lewis released a book "The Blind Side". It tells the story of Michael Oher's life from foster child to college football star.
The book was turned into a movie in 2009, and starred Sandra Bullock
That same year, Michael Oher was selected by the Baltimore Ravens. He helped take the Ravens all the way to the 2013 Super Bowl . The Ravens were victorious and Oher said "I came so far—from nothing to a Super Bowl championship,"
