Athletic Freaks of Nature?

[Pass2Run]

Sam Williams, Parsons, Tyron Smith.

When you're 6'4, 265 and run a 4.4 40 (Sam Williams), that means you're an athletic freak.

Parsons is a genuine freak. I bet he could play RB too.

I'd say TE, too. Maybe even some WR and S.

If he put on 25/30 lbs, possibly even center.

Barry was a freak. Very fast footspeed.

he had quick change of direction, but not a lot of power. he was sneaky through the holes.

It's the the 800 pound Gorilla concept. Where does Parsons play...wherever he wants to play.

Seriously . . . pretty much.

Speaking of freaks....

They're making some interesting headway in the mental illness/depression realm.

I find it pretty interesting.

This kid is a jr in high school 6' 9" 380 lbs.

Sad, actually.

He'll be gone by 50.

Larry Allen, Manster, Bullet Bob, and Dez just to name a few.

He was.
Just for the record, Emmitt had extreme durability for a running back.

Probably looking at 50 bucks a day to feed him.

When I hear that term "freak," all the mentioned above come to mind. Bo, Deon, and 20 more. For me it was LT. Lawrence Taylor.
True blue cowboys fan, but no other player made me press replay on the vhs more. No body !! Bullet hayes did a few times, Mj a few times, earl Campbell a few times, Erik Dickerson too. But LT was head and shoulders for me. Many many replays asking myself " ***?? How the hell??""

Dickerson had that extra gear and nobody hit that extra gear faster. Effortless runner. ED said the only guy in the league that could catch him from behind was another freak athlete, Darrell Green.

I hear this expression from time to time here. But what does it mean? Who are examples of these athletic freaks we have had? I can think of three that might qualify: Herschel Walker, Deion and T.O. Any others we have been been blessed with to wear the star?

T.O. was hardly an athletic freak, he was an extremely hard worker though.

Randy Moss is a better choice.

Speaking of freaks....

Well, if it's working for him....

Maybe you should try some so you can win employee of the month for the first time.

 

[RS12]

Have to add Tyreek Hill and Adoree Jackson.

 

[StuckMojo]

I think of Julius Peppers when I hear athletic freak of nature.

He is not even done growing yet

He has hinted at wanting to catch some passes

The all time freak athlete is prob Jim Thorpe.

Wilt Chamberlain.

 

[Diehardblues]

Wilt Chamberlain.

Of course , many freaks in hoops but I thought we were just talking football.

The Albanian guy I used to play soccer against. His quads-thighs were so thick he needed custom pants. You'de try to muscle into him to get the ball but you'de bounce right off him
