When we first meet Michael Oher, he is one of thirteen children born to a crack addict; he is illiterate and unaware of his father, birthdate, or actual name. After being taken off the streets by a wealthy, white, Evangelical family, he starts football and school. The love between the family and the development of professional football into a position where the quarterback has to be safeguarded at all costs are the two major causes that then change Oher. Our hero turns into the invaluable combination of strength, quickness, and dexterity required to protect the quarterback's worst weakness—his blind side.
