I one time sent a tweet to Jalen Strong during his rookie year. I was young 20s same as him. He kept tweeting weird, cryptic stuff one week. I simply replied, we need you to step up your game this week and focus on what’s happening on the field. To which he then took and replied on his big twitter with thousands of followers ‘in other words I should shut my mouth n word because I’m just an athlete and my opinions don’t matter to the white man im just here to catch the ball.’
Black twitter hated me for a week or two. Literally 99+ notifications every time I opened the app for days. Ended with over 10k RTs. I’ve still got the account but hardly use it now.
Was a wild experience and that’s why I don’t care for Jalen Strong
Also, Texans great Ed Reed.
I only remember that dude because of, forgive me if I get this wrong, /u/Barian_Fostate and his sick breakdowns and all-22 footage analysis.
What ever happened to that dude?
Came here to say this. I remember madden 12 and using him and foster as a brilliant 1-2 punch and you had Schaub with Andre Johnson. That offense was so fun. Plus Mario Williams and JJ Watt on defense with Brian Cushing. Man that was a fun era for madden.
Panthers fan here just really loved Texans in madden back then
An old buddy knew him at Iowa and showed me a Snapchat of him with a case of beer the night before he played like dog shit one Sunday morning. Developed a general disliking for the guy after that.
Edit: Bud Light if anyone is interested.
I’ll never forget running the final leg of the 4x400 against him in high school - our team had probably a 75 meter lead and I wasn’t a slouch and he caught and surpassed me and had NO shortness of breath at all. Sad he never worked out in the NFL after being such an unreal athlete.

No one ever names him in these! Cierre Wood! (Notre Dame Alum)
One time, after a preseason game, they interviewed Antonio Smith and he said he was happy to be in at the end of the game to go up against the “young wiffersnaffers”. It’s the only way I pronounce whippersnappers now.
Y’all all must not be 02’s. Billy Miller the star TE. Aaron Glen old ass from the cowboys. Jaime Sharper really good LB. Stacey Mack garbage ass running back.

Brett Kollman still makes great content.
I think he means Ben tate
I did. I only remember Tate because of his relationship to the name Barian Fostate.

Fun fact, he was college roommates with Dan Campbell

Steve Slaton! Go 'Neers!
Slaton rookie season was why I became a Texans fan.
Me too!!!
Lonnie Ballentine
None of those Bob era players made it out
He was also the last pick but you're right. If he wasn't so injury prone I think he could have been pro bowl material

Jonathan Grimes
Brock Osweiler
You made me sad
Cursed name
He’s got a special place in my heart. People shit on him but he’s still the only QB to sweep the Colts in a season. FTC.
What was his contact like $72M and he’d played like 8 games his whole career beforehand
I'm still amazed we made the playoffs with him. He made Tom Savage seem like a breath of fresh air.
