Watson is like our former lineman Matt Miller, both I feel would have had a chance play at the next level. I wish them well in their professional careers Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach. Woody Hayes Back to Top L.C.

He had some serious speed. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Cats2014 General User Member Since: 3/29/2014 Post Count: 101 Status: Offline     RE: hung them up    Posted: 4/1/2017 4:55:10 PM  Some kids come to the realization that there is a real world after football. The three you mentioned are were decent college players, but I'm not sure "playing at the next level" would be in their future. Just my opinion.

A more rational judgment of the caliber of the talent which we have on hand may be called for. Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

I thought Watson would get a tryout with a good workout as well. Sean Williams was a backup and made the nFL, so did Joshua Abrams. I was just surprised that they did not make an attempt.

It's a mature decision to move on, and start thinking in terms of life after football. I'm not under the illusion that Hardy would have made an NFL team, so so working for three months to prepare for Pro Day would probably not have been a good use of his time. I was just curious exactly how fast he was, since he was reportedly the fastest player on the team the last few years. Surely he's run a laser-timed 40 somewhere along the line, but no one has ever reported a speed. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top BillyTheCat General User Member Since: 10/6/2012 Post Count: 10,041 Status: Offline     RE: hung them up    Posted: 4/2/2017 10:43:16 PM  allen wrote: I don't know if they are NFL quality, if I had to guess, Hardy would probably get a tryout because of his speed and versatility.

Depends on what you call making the NFL, Josh has ZERO service time and was never on the active roster.

It seems that,in a lot of cases,late round draft picks and UFA's are pretty much "cannon fodder" at preseason camps. There are some guys who make the cut,but not many. It also seems that,even if you do get on a roster,you have a short career. I guess,if you want to say I made it to the NFL,its O.K,but these guys know they're not going to make enough to retire,so I can see deciding its time to move on.
