Yeah, I'd probably shit myself.

Call for a fair catch after you catch it

No, But I would be a good placekicker.

30% of CP is NFL level talent. They would catch the ball under all the pressure. I knew it.

Home game.

I meant by "field" just catch the ball.

I would argue that with 3 months of practice you could fair catch a football. I'm fairly confident in that.

30% actually seems about right. It’s not an NFL level skill.

From shotgun? 50/50 I could get the snap caught but my understanding is that those things have some heat on them.

Yeah, I'm sure I have a good amount of wishful thinking, which is why my initial thought is to take a few snaps first.... because yeah, I'm sure centers have that shit down so quickly and efficiently, you have to be at the top of your game to not screw the pooch before you even drop back.

I feel like it would have to be shotgun, it's at least one less thing to worry about with a drop back and not stumbling over the linemen's feet or your own. Plus I would do a Mahomes and probably drop back from there a bit, too. Make that 5 yard pass a 20 yard pass. :-)

At ~6'2", at least not at a huge disadvantage, but of course have to worry about batted down balls, too.

I feel like leading a receiver wouldn't be THAT difficult and I could put some zip on it..... I mean, Big Ben 10 minutes prior to retirement zip, but still. :-)

Add in an OL and DL? Not a fucking chance in hell.

I'll be your all-time QB.... just don't break me in half.

I had never made that connection at all.

He's a fairly recognizable dude - betting he looked more like Ronnie than Rico in real life.

He's in White Lotus right now!

My hands are too big to throw a football just 5 yards so I’d have an easier time fielding a punt.
[Reply]

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't fumble three times in however many attempts he's had.

when I was 20, ya.

If I was a professionally paid football player who has been getting reps as a returner since the minicamps in May… I am pretty sure I could at least cleanly fair catch a punt.
[Reply]

Yep, as long as I get to signal fair catch each time!
