BoonerNC Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Did anyone read the story about the German kid that got drafted by the Vikings?. He's also the first draft pick to sign a contract. Not bad for someone who hadn't even played football until 17 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for someone who hadn't even played football until 17 years old There's a video article about him, I think he attended one of the Florida colleges pro day then had a private work out. The scouts seemed to be impressed with his 40 time, 4.43, I hope things work out well for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathredwood Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 This years draft had good news stories like injured players being given a chance (Jack & Smith) A german who started playing after watching AP run the ball for the Vikings on You Tube. Who got drafted by the Vikings! AND.. a kid who battled Luekemia as a child (announced a pick a few years back in a kind of 'make a wish' situation) and ended up getting drafted this year. And all the press are talking about is a Tackle who took a bong hit once! :laugh:! Got to love the NFL Soap Opera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathredwood Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 My overall takeaway from the draft.... Jacksonville could be the surprise package next year! My Chargers did ok (LOVE the Bosa pick) Dallas will win the east with Elliot and a healthy Romo/Dez Jets drafted Hackenburg!??? Typical Jets! Gutted I missed most of the coverage over the weekend but my Stag weekend got in the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree on Jacksonville, on paper they nailed it Love the Bosa pick too, well done you! **** Dallas Bless the Jets, hated that pick! Unless it's a bargaining ploy with Fitzpatrick and they will give CH his beloved #14 jersey unless he signs at a decent rate! Hope the hangover has finally gone!

Staying up so late for the first round and then setting off at 9am on the Friday morning was a recipe for disaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
