going to try out for an NFL team next year

**downsouth** · 10-04-13, 11:54 AM

4.9 is obnoxiously slow. There are lineman that can beat it.

**Phanteezy** · 10-04-13, 11:57 AM

who do you think you are Invincible?? lmao

**Big Bear** · 10-04-13, 11:57 AM

**Smoke** · 10-04-13, 11:57 AM

You can do it!

**5mike5** · 10-04-13, 11:58 AM

6'6 215

bench max 295
squat max 205

very good agility. great high school basketball player all-league. great hands. ran a 40 a few years ago 4.9 but i didnt train for it. also i have one thing they cant teach and thats heart. a lot of it is politics so i might not make a squad but i catch everything thrown to me like a ben coates. its my dream i wish i hadnt waited so long to try this

You won't make it. You wanted to kill yourself over a bet the other day. You will be waterboy at best and probably kill yourself over all the taunts you get from the players. Depressed suicidal cases will never get the durability even if you are big and fit. All that stress from your losing bets must have a heavy build up of cortisol in your system....one training session later, you will be fatigued for months.

This yes. After waterboy, you best chances are kicker...but thats if you have the skill ofcourse.

**boeing power** · 10-04-13, 12:06 PM

You could play in the mentally challenged league with ttwarrior.

**NavsPicks** · 10-04-13, 12:07 PM

I would pay to see you go up against a prime ray Lewis. See if you can hang on to that ball

Open Tryouts an Opportunity for Players and Teams

Over the next several months, AFL teams will be holding open tryouts for the upcoming season. Coaching staffs around the League are working hard and preparing. Through open tryouts, teams have added many valuable players who have had a major impact on the AFL landscape including Barry Wagner, Mike Washington, and Fred Williams.

**daneblazer** · 10-04-13, 12:10 PM

The ticket for guys who aren't overly big or athletic making it in division 1 and the NFL is long snapper. If you can long snap well, someone will give you a look.

**TonyTall** · 10-04-13, 12:11 PM

jacksonville roster te

clay harbor 6'3 $630,000
marcedes lewis 6'6 $4,200,000
allen reisner 6'3 $555,000
dj williams 6'2 $555,000

6'2

i would tower over that guy

as for my 40 im sure with a trainer i could get it down into the 4.4 area. i ran 4.9 out of shape

i went to a jags game a few years back i was not impressed with the tight ends at all

**tony_come** · 10-04-13, 12:11 PM

You bench more than you squat?????

Not tough enough

**NavsPicks** · 10-04-13, 12:14 PM

**tony_come** · 10-04-13, 12:27 PM

Tony Homer is sharp as usual -- I was about to ask what's going on with the squat being so low?

Tony Taller I thought you said no long ago that you're in your 40's --sit home and watch NFL on TV

....I do like your enthusiasms however

**TonyTall** · 10-04-13, 12:52 PM

squat is what it is. i have bad knees so i cant go up in weight. im sure im strong enough to go up in weight but my right knee cracks when i do squats and its sore for a few days afterwards

i dont think nfl even does squats they do clean and jerk

**gauchojake** · 10-04-13, 02:34 PM

Let us know how it goes pal

**Chi_archie** · 10-04-13, 02:44 PM

Well if the guy has heart I'm sure he can stick in the NFL.

**Deuce** · 10-04-13, 02:47 PM

Rigorous work outs, get a trainer, get the speed to about 4.5 at the least, catch slant passes daily.

**BigDeem5** · 10-04-13, 02:55 PM

No doubt this kid has the makeup.

**greenhippo** · 10-04-13, 02:59 PM

Video tape your tryout and there's 2 shiny SBR points with your name on it.

**boeing power** · 10-04-13, 03:05 PM

Tony tall tale.

**crustyme** · 10-04-13, 03:09 PM

from suicide to nfl tryouts.

**BriGuy** · 10-04-13, 03:11 PM

I don't exactly think they hold open NFL tryouts these days, despite that movie with Marky Mark in it. Not that I think you're serious but, if you were, ya don't exactly start in the NFL. The CFL would be a good start or, barring that, Arena ball.

**ChalkyDog** · 10-04-13, 03:12 PM

You do realize even Jacksonville has top college players on it.

You realize that Jax would destroy Alabama if they were to play?

You think you can contribute at a level above high D1?

Good luck.

will make a video of me running a 40 at the local track for sbr pro status, nothing less

**BriGuy** · 10-04-13, 03:46 PM

Let me give you a nickel's worth of free advice: If you want to make an NFL team as a miracle, outside-chance tryout, then talking about it on a GAMBLING WEBSITE probably ain't the wisest course of action.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Any team that found out you were an active gambler isn't going to go near you with a 100 yard pole. (And by being active on this website, they're going to consider you an active gambler whether you are or aren't.)
