Anyone remember Miles Austin?

[TheMarathonContinues]

Never saw this on him...he was one of my favorite players to watch from that era. The little tidbit I didn't know was Todd Haley was the one who was pushing him as a receivers coach....I don't even remember Todd Haley being the Chiefs head coach when Miles went off for 250. Sucked the hammy's got him. Stripped him from having a much better and longer career.

Romo was a master at hitting layers in stride and Austin was a guy who could really make the most of that.
Could catch the ball and not even break stride.
Good player.

Undrafted combo. Pretty amazing

Weird he could never get over his hamstring issues once first injured.

I saw at the Miles Austin break out game in Kansas City. He actually caught that last TD right in front of. We were in the 23rd row and had perfect view of the entire play. It was stadium takeover that day and the Cowboy fans were so loud it was awesome. All the Chiefs fans were so mad and stormed out.

Sat on the bench for a good part of 3 years then blew up in 2009. Declined quickly but was serviceable for a couple more years.

I met him while he was getting his car washed in 2007 at a car wash/lube center I was employed at. Cool guy. Blue eyes. Signed a plush football for me.

Speaking of Todd Haley- his wife found a dead mouse in a McDonalds's Happy Meal in Southlake Tx about 20 years ago.....That's how I will always remember Todd Haley

Some people just don't appreciate the prizes that come with those Happy Meals.

Miles was a tremendous talent who took some time to learn how to be a receiver. Very fast and smooth ... a pleasure to watch play. Shame that injuries really limited him.

What could of been had Austin not had chronic hamstring issues.
Him and Dez could of been a legit 1-2 threat for years.

Austin was a good we but everyone wanted him to be elite and he wasn't

I remember the year before he blew up we supposedly had a second round offer from the Jets. I was ticked off we didn't take him then he blew up, against KC I think.

My son's name is Austin and he indeed had a Miles Austin jersey. He kind of had to after Miles started balling.
