James Bradberry's Draft Diary

[arbnranger]

Great read ! 

Going to a new place, being the low man on the totem pole and having your eyes wide open to a new experience is something most of us can relate to at some point in our lives. Let's you know these guys are real people... at the beginning at least.

Bradberry seems like the anti-Norman. Not taking anything from Josh. Not better or worse just vastly different. Bradberry seems quiet, introspective, and cerebral.  Most corners are more the reactionary type. I hope he is as smart as he seems and I hope that translates to on field success. 

Personality-wise he could end up a Chris Gamble type. Understated workhorse. If he ends up playing as well as Chris, all hail Gettledog.

You're in luck, as the link at the bottom of the page takes you to that entry.

"My mom was in my ear to go fix the toilet seat. We had bought a new toilet seat and it didn’t seem to fit right, so toward the end of the second round, I went to go fix the toilet seat.

Then my phone rang and I saw it was a North Carolina phone number, so I answered it and the coaches told me … I couldn’t really hear a lot because there was so much screaming in the house. Then we celebrated and screamed and stuff and then we all watched my name come across the board. And then they called me back and had me talk to the PR guy, then things settled down, everyone was kind of in shock."

Thanks, didn't see that!

" I’ll probably just … that’s a good question. I’ll probably go out and buy a steak. That will be my first purchase. " -Bradberry

 

I'd do the same. Already in love with this kid.

I'll buy that, but still overdone.

"I don’t really want to wear my stuff around because people start to look at you, so I am going to stop doing that. I want to wear some of the stuff when I went to go get some wings. People just come to you."

Sounds like a down to earth dude.  Good read.

I really wish the NFL would promote and encourage articles like this more often. Tough not to like a guy like this and it is refreshing to see a guy like Bradberry being humble and taking it all in.

Thanks for the link

 

 

I like the kid. Humble and seems like he just wants to lay low and play ball. Hopefully they do some more of these

[Pejorative Miscreant]

He seems to be a well adjusted intelligent guy.    Sounds like he can critique himself somewhat which is good IMO.   GMans draft picks are almost Stepford like (in a good way) when you look at their demeanor and attitude.  

 

Pulling for for him to be great.

HogFather knows what he is doing....

 

BradBerry will be an all pro soon enough
