I think it all the time about these wildly athletic guards you see that don't have high level basketball skill. Out of this world athletes but just not great basketball players. Surely there would be a role for them somewhere on the football field. Every time I see Seth Trimble I think... damn, this kid would make one helluva FS.

I doubt it,  Huge strength difference between someone training for football for years and someone playing basketball.  Basketball players lift but it's substantially different.

I mean to have had those types of kids concentrating on football instead of basketball. And let's be real, a high level athlete with the right build there's not a ton of difference. Trimble is 6'3" and listed at 195. If he was gonna play FS you'd probably want him to add maybe 15 pounds. That's not a big deal. Lots of guys will get drafted later this month needing to add that much muscle to their frame.

It was an April Fools joke you foooools

 

@LinvilleGorge has lost all credibility 

 

I can’t believe how long this conversation has lasted before you guys realize it’s an April fools joke haha

Except if you'd been following the college basketball thread you'd know that I literally said this same thing weeks ago. He's a football OT playing basketball.

It's the dregs of the off-season. What else is there to talk about? No one seriously thinks he's going to play on the NFL. It's just that for his pro prospects he would've been a lot better off if he'd focused on football.

Having elite size and athleticism makes him an outlier. He could make the transition. Would not draft him before round 5 - maybe not at all (UDFA). Give him a couple of years to acclimate before throwing him to the wolves. Remember, pass rushers are the best overall athletes on the field (size, strength, speed, agility). You don't want him out there trying to hang with those freaks using just athleticism. He'd fail miserably. Probably get someone hurt in the process.

It would be a VERY tough transition for him at this stage.

I agree. He would have to go to the right situation, with a vet in place that is willing to help show him the ropes. Coaching alone ain't gonna get him there before his contract is up and he's moved out of the league or into a different situation/offensive scheme to learn.

Yeah, if you haven't played some football at leasy through HS, that transition is going to be tough. People remember Gates and Jimmy Graham but those are still outliers.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
