we had Samoan guy that was strong as a bear
but his intelligence to the game was poor
he was always getting blindsided
cause the other teams had tape and saw this....

I wish I had some of your size . I would love to be able to play D1 ball, but at my size, I'd be something like a safety, and I ain't too good at defending the pass . I can't turn my hips fast enough. I have ok explosiveness, I just need quicker feet.
I prefer pounding the shit out of backs.

Started both ways/special teams etc...I was being scouted mostly by D2 but a couple D1 were also interested....Then I blew out my knee and couldnt play anymore. The thing is there were kids on my team that were 6'5 300 and could bench a house...but they were too slow, too stupid (in game wise), etc. I think its worth a try though if you wanna try and walk on...worst case scenario you dont make it...best case..well you get the point
