Jerry said they considered him as early as the second round and couldn't believe he wasn't drafted.

Only drafting players or signing players based on certain physical traits is dumb.
I think they should start measuring foreheads because that has to equate to a bigger brain, right?

Can't wait to hear Kiper or McShay talking about the 13 inch forehead that is in the 99th percentile for all players at his position.

As a big forehead guy, I support this trait. Heck, I'm more of a fivehead than a forehead.

Dexter Coakley would have been a first round pick this year. He was built like Mr. Hyde in "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".
