Booger Kennedy signs with Broncos

I'll be pulling for that guy. He was a badass in college. Who knows, maybe he can teach BJ Johnson how to work hard and BJ can start realizing his potential, too.

Great news. Being undrafted was a crying shame, but I am convinced the both of them will make some plays. BJ was always "the other guy" but I think he will find a spot somewhere if not with the Broncos because he does have talent.

Booger being penalized for height is just sad, because the guy is a pure stud.

IMetTrentGreen · 04-27-2004, 10:45 AM

too small and too weak

bj is too slow and can't catch

niether will make a dent

IMetTrentGreen · 04-27-2004, 10:46 AM

i take that back, bj might be productive in a few years if he can put some effort into it

unlikely though

errr Booger ain't small, he is short, and he is definitely not weak. Against good teams he was constantly double and sometimes triple-teamed. None of them could move him including Oklahoma, Texas and the two games with TCU.

Huck knows I am not making this up.

If he was 5 or 6 inches taller, what would be a crying shame is if he wasn't taken in the first round.

Damn, I was really hopiong that the Cowboys would sign Booger...

Nobody is being penalized for anything. People are drafted based on teams' estimates of how they will perform in the pros. That estimate is lower due to height, but there is probably a good reason for that. Short (and weak, and slow) people tend not to be consistently successful in the NFL.

I disagree.

Teams are more concerned with attributes than with football playing ability. If a player does not meet the status norm, they are generally labeled as undraftable. I don't care if a guy runs a 4.2 to a guy who runs a 4.6, I want to see how they perform after 50 plays on a football field, because on an actual football field, the .4 makes very little difference.

I could list players who excelled in every attribute who busted and crash this board. It is a crapshoot swayed by physical attributes more than making plays.
