Title: Coach's kids who have heart, are fundamentally sound, and are cerebral

The buzz over this pic got some buds and I talking about skill position players who are white, and how (overwhelmingly white) fanbases go absolutely bonkers for them. Nebraska's love for Rex Burkhead was mentioned.

We also spent a lot of time laughing about words or phrases that announcers use to describe white RBs, QBs, and WRs that are almost never attached to black players who play the same position. So, ITT, let's brainstorm all those names and phrases.

I'll start:
-Crafty
-Scrappy
-Field general
-Extremely coachable
-Coach's kid

Go 'Cats.


Also, let's keep it out of the Dome. If HerrSonntag, Bookie Pimp, and K-S-U-Wildcats could please stay out of this thread, that would be great.

Seriously. He's playing ball without a helmet and has a sly, model-esque "almost" smile on his face. You would swear that if this pic was taken 1/2 a second later, he'd be winking at some cheerleader on the sidelines.

Just for fun, google "Jake waters" and "speed" or "fast." All the code words are there: sneaky, deceptive, etc.

Once again, the coach prefers the more athletic player who gets by on his physical gifts rather than the scrappy play of the sneaky fast gym rat who's like another coach on the field and does things the right way #hustle #sacrifice #studentofthegame #runsfortouchdownsnoonecantstophim


After he came back in after taking a shot to the ribs on a play he elevated on to try and block a pass I was surprised. I figured he had broken a few ribs. Great motor which makes him a disruptive player.

Don't forget moxie and deceptive speed.

Wes Welker

I scanned through the entire first page and was almost beside myself that no one had yet mentioned "He's a real Wes Welker type." Honestly can't believe it got to page two.


As for the original photo: dude's a total stud boss. Look at his hunky beefcake expression even as his helmet has been ripped off and he's trying to evade tacklers. Probably luked but don't care. No idea if he's any good at football and don't really give two shits but he is a t0tal dreamboat.

Field general.

Obviously another sports cliche, but outside of Russell Wilson - who the media has deemed "safely black" (and also kind of sucks) -
I defy you to find another black QB referred to as a "field general" or "like having a second coach on the field."

McNabb and Steve McNair were often talked about like that
