Sams is undoubtedly a quality athlete. But, he won't be the "best athlete" we've had. Not by a long shot...
That would be Stephen Starring, who was a QB for us, but got drafted in the 2nd round as a WR by New England.
4.2 in the 40, 10.38 in the 100, 13.7 in the 110 highs, over 26 in the long jump and over 50 in the triple jump. In 83, he won four events at the conference championship and went on to run in the NCAA championships in the 110 highs. The next year, 84, he went on to the NFL and set a Superbowl record for most kick off return yards. That same year, some guy named Al Joyner, who finished 2nd to Stephen at the conference championships had a banner year, too, winning the Gold at the Los Angeles Olympics in the triple jump.
As to QBs, Kerry Joseph's the best QB we've had, followed closely by Starring, who was the Indy Bowl Offensive MVP in a game that featured Louis Lipps, Sammy Winder and Reggie Collier. I'd put a kid named Derrick Fourroux at number 3 and several after that.
Sams has the potential to be in the top three, but he'd have to prove it on the field...
Interesting site. I woulda thought you guys would be more realistic about FCS talent after last year
You guys musta been depleted with injuries or something for the Bison to come in an get a win like that.
In all seriousness, what the hell happened in that game?
I mean BESIDES getting your asses kicked by a buncha Division II players
