Meet #96 Jeremy Ross 5'5" 150 lb Freshman PK...he is a brave man...

Submitted by TESOE on

He is a brave man...we'll see if he ever goes Zoltan and decides to take a snap and run with it. May none of his kicks get returned.

 

He actually looks pretty tough.

On a FG attempt, Hopkins will come in as a blocker. When this kid comes up to make the kick, he'll instead scoop it up, while Hopkins disengages from his block, comes around behind and scoops up the whole kid, football, kicker and all, and carries him into the end zone.

I would definitely like to have him as a FG and Extra Point holder  He could be the guy moving the ball while the actual kicker fakes the heck out of a field goal.  Anyone got a 40 time?  He's gonna look like a penny on the railroad tracks after one hit, so I hope he's fast...

As anyone who has read Bo's Lasting Lessons can attest, players that dont fit the 'typical football player' mold (ie walkons) are often the guys who push the starters the best.  He may be a foot shorter and 80 lbs lighter than me, but I wish him all the best.

Hagerup and Gibbons better bring their A game...

I saw him yesterday from a distance and didn't trust my eyes.  He definitely stood out, but I thought my perspective might be warped from all those beefy young men on the field.  So I pulled out my roster and saw that he was 5'5" and 150 lbs.

I'll bet he's scrappier than hell.

... is how large the numbers are relative to his torso...

I bet the numbers wrap around his sides if the jersey was pulled tight.

He needs a single digit number... then again - that might ruin the look he's after.

A player that size at kicker is one thing, but how about a 5'7" 248 lbs. DT? I saw Dominque Ware practicing with the D-Line on the BTN's Michigan practice thing the other day, and it was comical seeing him next to guys like Martin and Campbell.
