At What Point Did You Realize that Athletically....

[El Coupeacabra]

I remember reading all the reports about Lache Seastrunk @ Baylor about how he was too small to play RB in the NFL.

Then I met him in person...5'9" 205LB is like an inch shorter than me but the nikka was about as wide as I was tall

I never stood a chance.


Also meeting Cheifs LB Derrick Johnson (who was even bigger than that) and buying Madden that year and the scounting report on him was something like "Too small to stop the run, better at pass coverage/pass rushing)" and being fukking befuddled....

Couldnt imagine being 205 and 235 and being considered "too small" for anything

I'm 6'3"; 235lbs; I bench 922lbs 25 times; I have a 66 inch vertical; and ran the 40 in 3.7seconds.

There were some coaches coming around talking that jibba jabba about wanting me to play at some schools called Ohio State, Clemson, and University Of Southern California, to name a few that you might've heard of.

My mom didn't believe in sports, so she wouldn't sign the permission slips.

you're like 5'6" ? and that bloated?

5'8 and have always been solid...

Always had a natural cut my whole life. I work out sometimes as Ive gotten older, but people always ask if I have played football...,

then the convo shifts to...."you look like a football player"...

...then "why didnt you make it?"

But let's be reality......why you got the feet of a toddler?

size 8

I was a beast at football but around puberty I realized I wasn't gonna be big and sturdy enough. Cats who can take the beating of football and not get injured get a triple salute from me. Russell Wilson is only 5'10 but dude is built like a rock, got big hands and wrists, etc. You gotta have that type of frame to have a long, healthy career.

I have small bone structure/frame, I woulda been D Rose status by the last preseason game .....and that sucks cuz I have speed, agility and strength....just injury prone and not big enough to take the hits in the long run.

People don't understand just how good Russel Wilson is...that frame is not large at all but yet so athletic and can take a hit Was a top athlete in college too

I took a knee and was like bro this shyt aint for me. Never ina milkion years could instop that kind of combo so why even continue.
