My best position was LB but much too small for that in NFL. Like a lot of former athletes I'd be a box safety... lol.
This is why safeties don't make money unless they can take away half or more of the field like Earl did at his peak.
I'd also make a solid RB for today's game as I could really block, ran hard and well just had zero vision, lol.
I actually played WR/TE/FB DL/OLB/LB/S in middle school and high school with a combined 0 TDs but 4 INT and lots of sacks/forced fumbles.
Then was a really spare safety/special teamer in college with single digit total tackles. LOL.
In college practice Rodney Blackshear got lined up on me and Bam Morris was in the backfield and mannn it was so bad...
They ran a play action deep pass and Blackshear beat me by like 20 yards.. lol.
The film the next day was shown in slow motion like 10 times as I was flying at Bam while getting burned. /dies inside.
Coach Mainord called me into his office a weeks after asking if I would like to transfer to some places he had contacts that could use me as a starting safety.
I was like naw I am here on an academic scholly and want a 4 year degree.
I played through the end of that season then[quit, got dumped] so I no longer counted against the roster limits, lol.
Still he gave me free home tickets for a whole 'nother year in the team section.
Coach was a good dude and I kinda sucked coming from a veer based era of football into the new run n shoot era.
