I was the starting OLB and P...I weighed in at 185 at that time so I was a little undersized,but I hit like a freighttrain...Kinda played like a Jack Lambert...(as he was not very big either..)
But my Punting skills are where my special gift played in...I took 2nd in the city as a Punter..with a 44.3 yards per punt AVG.
For some reason I was always good on Special teams in hitting ,Tackling and causing turnovers...as well as punting...
My junior year,I once punted the Ball from the 19 to the 1 yard line (my longest punt 80 yards),then on the very next play...Blitzed and got a safety for our Defense...
We were playing Rolla and they had a premeir RB by the name of Cary Lang(very player)and I just blitzed right up the middle and got him...
My weaknesses:Hate Blocking and not very good at it...Being undersized and fast...I did not do alot training or practice at blocking drills do to the postions I was either interested in or being considered by coaches...
I ran the 40 in 4.68 (my best time)...
Strengths:Very versitile player...I catch very well,I throw very well,I tackle very well and I kick the ball very well...
I have a no fear attitude when it comes to pain and hitting people,no matter how big they are..Very mean streak...
Also noted..Injury free player...
worst injury I ever had playing organized football was a Hair-line fractured left foot(softmore year)Non-kicking foot...
But as much as I hate to say it...I was more of a free lancer on defense...My job was to attack the ball carrier and put the hurt on him and use my speed to track him down...
Also noted..Also had been used on DE on occasion for pass rushing abilities..
Never missed a game for any reason and started at least either offense or defense throughout my life
Most inspirational play:I made alot of huge plays over my lifetime...some were scoring and some were as simple as a block punt...
But I will never forget the 75 yard kickoff return against Hickory hills in a 20-14 win in 1986 right after they took the lead 14-6 on the previous play...we ended up tying the game after the 2 point conv....then later on winning..
But I like to feel sometimes that play got the momentum on our side to eventually win!
I know it's silly to feel good about something that happened when I was like 13 or so,but you gotta hold on to those moments...It sure makes life worth living sometimes...(as my team tackled me in the endzone after the play...)and stuff..?
