Doesn't 18 on an ACT seem like a low bar to achieve? The first time I took it (and that was over 30 years ago now) I scored a 28. In those days, there were practice tests or online trainings for you to prep for this.

I scored a 27 10+ years ago, but I was a solid test-taker. Like I said, to say that answering 100 questions in 45 minutes is a good judge of someone's intelligence level or capability to be a successful person is unfair, at best. There are so many examples throughout history of successful people (even perceived geniuses) that did not do make good test scores in grammar school/high school. Einstein comes to mind initially for me. He failed his college entrance exam, which was the equivalent to the modern day ACT/SAT at the time.

You guys blew it out the water! Lol. I see you're from the coast like me. You'll probably remember these names. DeAndre Brown? #3 receiver in the nation behind only Julio Jones and A.J. Green. He went to USM because of a technicality. If not he would've been at LSU. Me and him were team mates. Vick Ballard? Perk. Trumaine Brock? Perk. Terrence Cody? Perk. John Jenkins? Perk. The list goes on. A lot of our best athletes went JUCO first.

I remember every one of those guys (and watched most at some point in person)! Brown was a FREAK!!! His broken leg in the New Orleans bowl still haunts my memories of gruesome football injuries.

I played cornerback, so me and him used to have some pretty heated battles in practice. That injury though....I was so hurt for him when it happened. After he had such a terrific freshman year. I wish he could stick with an NFL team.

Dude was such a freak athlete. 6'6" 230 lbs., if I remember right, and still looked faster than anyone else on the field. Craziness. I wonder what has kept him from being able to stick. I know that had a few little nagging injuries even after he recovered from the broken leg. Maybe he is the Greg Oden of football. :-/

He was hurt in pretty much every game we ever played and still the fastest person on the field. His ankle used to be humongous! He's probably about 250-260 lbs. now. All muscle. I can't really say why it hasn't worked out for him, I just hold out hope that it does. Because i was with him on draft night when he didn't get picked, and it was a horrible feeling for everybody.
