As a 12-year old kid, Ben Heeney jotted all his goals down for the future.

The Raiders rookie linebacker shared them on Twitter -- and it seems like he knew what his future held at a young age.

Crazy!! My goals from 2004 when I was in grade school. Believe in yourself!!! pic.twitter.com/QPFmkxwHBz

Just in case you can't read Heeney's middle school scratch, his dreams included:

- Making his high school varsity team

- Attending the University of Kansas on a football scholarship

- Playing in the NFL

- Becoming a college coach after his professional playing days

He's accomplished three of those things already. And if Heeney swaps his cleats for a coach's whistle in a few years, no one should be surprised.
