My NFL draft position (what's yours)


Burgold

Recommended Posts

So, I know what you're thinking and you're right. Forty isn't too old to be an NFL rookie. Who cares if my forty speed is a bit slow, that number of dead lifts is a bit low, and I'm a little small and light... I've found the perfect position for me.

 

NFL Third String QB.

 

Now, you might question my arm and the fact that no one has any game tape of me reading a defense or throwing into coverage, but let me tell you... I can hold a clip board better than 99% of the guys out there. I do it with style, man!  More, I can nod with conviction when huddled with the starter and the offensive coordinator. That's bringing the confidence! And if you need athleticism, when the Redskins score anyone who's been at the games besides me knows I have a tremendous vertical.  I can leap out of the stands! I can high and low five. I can pat backs.

 

More, I will be completely content with a rookie minimum salary and if my contract ever comes up... Vet min! I am like no hassles. The one guy on the team you'd never have to worry about.

 

Sure, I'm no Colt McCoy, but 9/10 times if you have to put your third team QB in the seasons done for anyway.  Let's be honest, even though Colt beat Dallas, putting in that third string QB meant the season was over and in the end it was. Heck, most of the time if the first two get hurt the front office scrambles and picks up a vet off the street to hurry into the line up.  I can hand off! I can throw it away! No one throws a fade route like me!

 

 

So, put me on the bench, coach. I'm ready to sit... today. Put me on the bench, I'm ready to play (one the  scout team) today!

 

Pick Burgold for your 7th rounder. I won't be sorry.

 

 

 

 

 

For the rest of you, ... serious or humorous, what position would you line up in.

4th string QB on practice squad. At 45, I can no longer throw football 65 yards (well, can probably still do it, maybe once) can no longer run a 4.6 40 (maybe low to mid 5 second range) (still an Active Duty Soldier so can still do a little) and may have (definitely) lost the light feet I once had. Probably be as effective in pocket now as a tackling dummy. Well, I guess if you needed an older, somewhat movement challenged real talking dummy, I am definitely the right guy! Could even hold a clipboard pretty good.

Close to retirement so maybe I give professional 4th string QB/tackling dummy a shot.

Of course, in order to be drafted, they would probably have to go back to 14 rounds, so 14th round may be the spot. I don't even need rookie minimum, $70,000 will do.

I would like to think that at 6'5" and 266 lbs I've got the size to be a damn fine first round OLB/edge rusher.

 

My age may cost me a few spots and obviously the off-field issues may be a concern to some teams, dropping me a little more.

Any type of psychological testing would probably lower my stock somewhat and my Rick Eisen-esque 40 yard dash may go against me.

 

I think that my huge grandiosity gap more than makes up for these minor short-comings and I would be shocked if I didn't get picked in the top 10. :)

Cheerleader masseuse.

I was like "oh no...no, no, no! you tell him.. he can be in "A" band but not "THE" band! That chit will follow you for life!"...
