Placed 2nd in the Javelin @ the Penn Relays this weekend (almost 201 Ft) http://pennrelaysonline.com/Results/results.aspx?en=714

That's on top of second team All State Basketball.

Nice!

Too bad it doesnt have anything to do with being a TE. Definitely a great athlete though.

Footwork, Technique and Strength have nothing to do with being a TE?

Kid is huge for a high school senior and works super hard at everything. Give him a year to redshirt and learn the system and hit the gym and he can be a big help. Also kicks field goals.

 

[Palatine]

His 30 rebound game is still his most impressive non-football sports sat.

Actually Tommy was first team All-State.

Wes Welker credits soccer with his ability to make cuts on the football field. I bet cross-training yields a lot of indirect benefits. You can go your whole life without realizing that the way you move your feet in relation to the ground can be altered and varied. This is what soccer can teach people. It would never occur to a football player to point their toes straight down to the ground (why would it?) but Welker used that technique to trick defenders when he made his cuts.

Huh?

For those old enough to remember, Russ Francis, a TE for the Patriots was a world class javelin thrower.

What three former high school track and field national record holders played for the 49ers at the same time? Hint: Francis was one

i'm thinking Michael Carter was a shot-putter/javelin guy

Babe Didrikson.

#UConn football signee Tommy Myers wins the shot put and javelin at #CIAC Class S Track and Field championships Post original url/13gtN7E

>>UConn commit Tommy Myers a double winner

UConn football signee Tommy Myers won the shot put and javelin at today's CIAC Class S Track and Field Championships.

Myers, a Coventry High senior who projects to be a tight end for the Huskies, was the top-seeded competitor in both events. He won the shot put with a winning throw of 52-6.5. He won the javelin by more than 25 feet recording a best throw of 194-11. Myers had a chance to set the Class S mark in the javelin of 199-4 set by Lyman Memorial's Miles Snelgrove in 2008 as his season best was 200-11.

Myers has qualified for the State Open in both events.<<

I like the 11.3 100m he runs

Cory Jasudowich is also a track stud... ran on Cheshire Academy's 4x100 team that came in 3rd in New England Prep School Championships. Also came in first in javelin and third in shot put.

These are big, fast, athletic kids.

 

[BoatShow]

Best athlete to get thrown 6 passes a year since Ryan Griffin, callin it now!

But really, I've seen the kid play hoops and I'd love to know what his vertical is. Should be able to go up and get the ball then run through people.
