Mmqb did a nice piece on out head of college scouting.

Cool story. Just a difference in generations from how the greats had to train back then vs now.

Awesome----thx for posting that story, JH.

"Mr. Kelly, I need your son to help me work out."
“I think my dad choked on his pork chop,” Kelly says.

Great story. I hope he finds the next Sweetness or LT for our team.

Indeed, great story.

In no way am I suggesting the next Payton is in this draft. And I know he doesn't have Payton's build (nor probably his work ethic), but watching the highlights/combine tape of Gordon, his footwork style is reminiscent of sweetness (balls of his feet, heels hardly touching the ground).

It'd be something else though, wouldn't it?

I never saw Jim Brown play, but for my money Walter Payton was the best football player I ever saw.
Thanks for sharing that Stinky.

Another great taken too early. Crazy it's been 15 years.
