Had an NFC Personnel executive tell me “He reminds me of J.J. Watt, when Watt was coming out. An explosive and versatile playmaker who has a high motor and can line up at 3,5, or 7. Very strong kid” #NFL#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr
While we were at camp, we were right next to George’s girlfriend chatting with her and after practice, George came over and in that couple minutes I mentioned to him how I think he’s similar to Tamba Hali and how he should reach out to him because some of the training he did may really help him. He said he would.
I wonder if that’s how that started or the coaching staff reached out to Tamba, or if Tamba reached out directly to George.
Fun to think that I may have played a role in them working together.
I love stories like this.
It reminds me of the time I was living in Dallas as a young man, attending college at the University of Texas at Arlington. I would frequently go to Rangers games.
One game Pat Mahomes was there pitching, and I happened to see a young boy on the field shagging fly balls before the game.
The elder Mahomes came over to sign autographs and I asked him who the young child was in the outfield, displaying such raw, dazzling athletic talent. He told me that was his son, and he was going to be a great baseball player some day.
"Mr. Mahomes, your son should play football. He looks like a quarterback to me."
Pat Sr. smiled and said "Yeah, but he'll never be a first round pick, fatboy."
Fun to think that I may have played a role in the rise of the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty. [Reply]

“Mr Mahomes, please also keep your other son away from female restaurant owners.” [Reply]

I’ll post pictures of them working together a few feet away from us, too.
The "you and George" story is cool but taking a random picture of his girlfriend comes off as a little odd man...not gonna lie. [Reply]
I went to band camp with Harrison Butker. We teased him relentlessly calling him Harry Butt, until he kicked one of the camp counselors in the balls for calling him that in front of the whole group.
Pretty sure his career took off from there. [Reply]

Am I remembering correctly that she was also an athlete at Purdue? [Reply]

Dude, we don't want to hear about that one time at band camp that you stuck a flute up your pussy. [Reply]
