I've seen crazier things happen.

I go w/Walt. Athletic ability - speed And quickness, hands, eyes. Mental toughness, physical durability. Smarts - anticipate, create, take advantage. Psychological determination/will. Leader. Rises to occasion.  RS Bobcat Back to Top bobcatsquared General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Post Count: 5,419 Status: Offline     RE: Which Bobcat would make the best NFL player?    Posted: 11/6/2012 7:02:16 AM  Kadeem Green. But what do I know. I once thought Marin Bota was a future NFL player.

Spiller or Darren Sproles like RB who could do a lot of damage with a smaller frame.  Back to Top The Optimist General User Member Since: 3/16/2007 Location: CLE Post Count: 5,597 Status: Offline     RE: Which Bobcat would make the best NFL player?    Posted: 11/6/2012 11:29:24 AM  I think TJ Hall would be intriguing as well. Did any of these guys play football in high school?  I know one of our football players was pretty highly touted in hoops.  Derrius Vick? I've seen crazier things happen.

I'll tell ya where we'll go. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' bout a little place called... ATHENS.

If he becomes the next Antonio Gates that's one thing, but I bet a 12 year basketball career in Europe pays better than a 3.5 year career in the NFL. And basketball in Europe comes with a lot fewer head injuries.  Back to Top Buster General User Member Since: 12/20/2007 Post Count: 405 Status: Offline     RE: Which Bobcat would make the best NFL player?    Posted: 11/6/2012 8:14:14 PM  bigtillyoopsupsideurhead wrote: Buster wrote: I remember there being serious talk about Jerome Tillman staying a 5th year at Ohio to play football.  Solich sounded very welcoming to the idea.  Tillman of course chose to continue his basketball career overseas.  I really thought he would be a great Tight End and possibly be the next Antonio Gates.  What if?

He could catch a ball with, sometimes , as many as 4 guys hanging onto his arms.

Rises to occasion.  I agree 110%!!  Walt is impressing me more and more and I think this will be the year he gets really noticed by the nation.  I am certainly glad he left OSU and came down to us.  I know they have been talking him up lately but I think he will get more and more attention as this year goes by.  Thanks for all you do Walt!!  We got a chance to talk with him after the Little Dribblers Camp and I was amazed with this young man with his maturity and all.  We got a great player and young man in Walt and I will say we have quite a few more as well with DJ, Stevie, Ivo, Nick, TJ, Ricardo, Reggie, and all the others.  I am glad we are not reading how one of our guys beat up his girlfriend or got into a bar brawl or smoking anything like these other schools have to.  I am happy to be a huge fan of this team and this year will be OUtstanding!!

He would be the Browns' top receiver right now if he stepped in :) Back to Top Bobcatbob General User Member Since: 12/21/2004 Location: Coolville, OH Post Count: 1,347 Status: Offline     RE: Which Bobcat would make the best NFL player?    Posted: 11/7/2012 1:46:10 PM  George Green.  You could look it up.
