Poor Watson. He's going to throw so many picks. He needs a season to learn the offense before he runs out there chucking 49mph balls around against NFL corners. He can be good but needs complete familiarity with the offense before he attempts that in my opinion.

They should be churning, they had one of the worst rosters in the NFL last year.

I'm really surprised nobody picked up on our running back in UDFA dude holds conference records galore and put up 1000 yards on an injury riddled season.

My school was not known for basketball and football but we had a really good soccer and baseball team. I know one guy ended up playing for the LA Galaxy and another played for the Twins. I happened to play basketball and our team was poo poo. We were way undersized to begin with and to add to the problem, the big guys we did have were soft as hell. We would usually play in a couple tournaments before the season started and in this particular one, we went up against Oak Ridge and Ryan Anderson. We got loving wrecked. He was basically scoring at will anytime he got the ball and was a dominating presence on defense. Interesting fact about Ryan Anderson. He took that Oak Ridge team to the California DII Championships held at Arco Arena in Sacramento, where they were nearly upset by a team from Turlock, CA led by none other than Colin Kaepernick. Kaep had 34 points in that game and Anderson had 50.

I mean, Oak Ridge was ranked #1 and Kaep's team was ranked #16. It would have been a staggering upset.

I thought I was losing my mind because Northwestern has never had a player named Samuel Van Ginkel-- that's absurd even for Northwestern, so I looked him up and he went to NAIA Northwestern College and I really hope he just told someone there he played for Northwestern.

There's a guy who currently plays for the Rams that was a year ahead of me in High School. Our team was mediocre and he didn't tear things up back then, guess he must have gotten good in college. Edit : I guess he was all-state? But I really don't remember the team ever being good while I was there

One person, ever, went to my high school and played in the NFL. He was a TE for one year in Seattle, in the seventies. Played in exactly two games. The number being so low is kinda surprising because my high school has always had a ton of students so it could reasonably be expected to have more good players, but apparently not

How dare any of you question Patrick Mahones, let today be known and rejoiced for generations to come as the day Mahones started his 7 time superbowl champion career.KC Star posted:Indeed, as Mahomes’ first practice as a Chief featured about what you’d expect. He showed off the gun early on by repeatedly attempting to slice the ball through a strong wind during a drill — it wobbled some, but it often got there — and there were some impressive throws and tight spirals, particularly into the deep and intermediate portions of the field. http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article149092499.html

The only football player of real note from my tiny county in southern WV was Curt Warner. He almost ended the football programs at every other High School in the surrounding area by his junior year according to my Dad. No one could touch him and by his upperclassmen years, no one wanted to try.

Getting a third for Bouye is pretty cool considering he was a UDFA and didn't do anything until this season The uncool part is he's really good and now plays for a division rival, even if he's grossly overpaid for his track record and if he turns into a pumpkin it'll be "lol the Jags" all over again

I'm pretty surprised Martellus Bennett is only worth a 5th But either way the Pats once again play nth dimensional chess, trade a 5th for Bennett and ride him to a Superbowl win then get a 5th back

He signed a 3 year, $21 million contract, but only $6.3 million is guaranteed. Gronk money would be around $9 million a year. He may not be the best comparison though, because of his injury concerns he took a below market deal in exchange for getting a long deal - 6 years.
