Funny story on an under the radar type draft prospect...
A couple weeks ago I was at a local gym (Fuel Fitness) lifting and doing cardio late one night. I saw these two big, young guys come in. They caught my eye because at this time the gym is usually almost empty. I had never seen them before. They looked like SEC football players is what came to mind, funny now, but then yes that is what came to my mind. It was spring break after all, maybe they were passing through? Or better yet, Pac 12 players (U Wash, Wash St) made more sense due to proximity. The two of them were really out-going and having a good time, all while lifting some serious weight. The bigger of the two was benching 405 lbs (eight 45 lb plates). I was on the elyptical machine with my headphones on across the room and didn't get to find out who they were before they finished and left. At the time I thought what a strange experience, because i was sure they were (atleast the bigger dude) was a current big-time football player, or atleast a recent one (having graduated not long ago).
Flash forward to the other day, who do I see on the news? The same guy! Who was he? This guy: http://buttesports.com/former-oredigger-jones-mentioned-on-nfl-com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I wish I knew who he was at the time, could have congratulated him and wished him good luck!
