But the reality is that it's mostly fools gold. Many have tried, few succeed. Banging under the boards is child's play next to the job of continually banging into hard-rock fast 250lb linebackers. The first test of catching a football in the open field is easy. It's all up hill from that point on.
Also one of my favorite all-time names, along with Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.

I believe Antonio Gates was offered a football scholarship to Mich St but they would not let him be lay basketball too. He had much more football experience than Mo.
