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

[MadCat]

yeah when did channing tatum star in a Rudy re-make? 

That guy is better looking than channing tatum. 

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.

And pointing his finger like a mock gun while flashing his pearly whites.

You can tell This kid has a real grasp on the playbook

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.

[felix rex]

I've got a few words for you. How about motor? And deceptive (in reference to speed) and gym rat field general moxie work ethic? Also, small town and Kansas and overlooked earned his chance plays hurt savvy. That's my favorite player every year.

great hustle

that's a pretty amazing photo

Yeah, that guy looks like someone shopped his senior pic on to his FB body.  Not just calm AF, but slightly smiling.  No sign of straining.  Crazy.

[Spracne]

Is it gay that I'm now gay after viewing that picture?

Let the gayness flow and we'll all have a gay ole time.

[Benja]

Well. I guess I'll go try to be cooler after seeing that pic.

Brings his lunch pail to work.

First one in, last one out.

A coach's dream.

Heady.

Reminds you of [insert another white player].

[MadCat]

Reminds you of Tyler Hansbrough.

Wes Welker

That's funny, because Jordy Nelson is the spitting image of a taller, stronger Wes Welker.

Squawks need to stick to basketball. That may be the worst player comp of all time. 

[Katpappy]

There's no quit in this young man!

[SkinnyBenny]

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.

This is a young man who does things the right way.

[Emo EMAW]

...knows how to read a zone defense...

[HerrSonntag]

..has a lot of the intangibles that just don't show up on the box score.

[TownieCat]

Good player but a better person.

I feel like some of us are just naming sports cliches now.
