from player interviews...
start with alex smith:
seems like a great guy:
Quote:
What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Smith: I like to be with my family and friends. I'm also a competitive guy, so I like skiing, snowboarding, bowling and golf. I like going to movies, too. I just saw Million Dollar Baby, which was good but depressing.
8. Finish this sentence: The first thing I will buy after signing an NFL contract will be ...
Smith: I will pay off my family's debt. My brother's student loans, my parents' debt, everything.
|
I'd do the same..but is he really that smart?
Quote:
What was the turning point of the Revolutionary War?
Smith: (laughs) I would have to say ... hmm, that was obviously ... uh, I have no idea.
|
Now Terry is pretty smart:
Quote:
Explain the Pythagorean Theorem.
Terry: Oh, my high school teacher is going to kill me. The only thing I'm gathering is A-squared plus B-squared equals C-squared. (Editor's note: Terry is correct!)
|
that brings something to our team (I really like this guy)...
Quote:
It's 100 years from now. How are people going to remember you?
Terry: They'll know me on the field, but off the field I want to bring a lot to the community and be a household name in that regard. I know I'll be able to influence more than one kid's life, but to have them be successful would make my day. I think I'm doing that for a lot of people where I'm from due to the fact that we haven't really produced a lot of NFL players.
|
If he could live up to this-he'd be great
Quote:
Whose throwback jersey do you most want (or already have) in your closet?
Terry: I'm not a jersey kind of guy, I usually wear button-down shirts and khakis, but if I had to wear one I'd get a USC Tony Boselli jersey. I don't think they make those, so it would have to be a special order.
|
we have an opening, adam;
Quote:
What other position do you wish you could play?
Terry: Tight end. You still have the offensive lineman mentality but you also get to catch the ball and have a little glory behind you
|
now moving on:
the man we think the saints will pick:
thomas davis:
If you live up to this you'd be great:
Quote:
Who were your idols as a child?
Davis: I used to look up to guys like Deion Sanders, Ronnie Lott and Lawrence Taylor. In basketball, it was Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
|
good learner-
Quote:
Name the most important thing you learned in college.
Davis: Never take a play off.
|
this is kinda weird though:
Quote:
Do you have any superstitions?
Davis: I never wore any lotion, because it seemed like I played better without it.
|
what's up with that?
Quote:
It's 100 years from now. How are people going to remember you?
Davis: As a guy that almost didn't get the opportunity, but definitely made the most of the opportunity when it was presented to him.
|
I like that-but davis-it's not all about you:
Quote:
Name a question that you think would stump a fellow 2005 draft prospect.
Davis: How many Division I offers do you think Georgia safety Thomas Davis had coming out of high school?
|
hmm-thinking about a coernerback heres three-start with a first round contender:
Carlos rogers
If he could live up
Quote:
Who were your idols as a child?
Rogers: Deion Sanders.
|
well-he's got the greed thing down:
Quote:
Finish this sentence: The first thing I will buy after signing an NFL contract will be ...
Rogers: A nice house. And the bigger my signing bonus is, the bigger my house will be.
Pick one: Fame or fortune.
Rogers: Fortune
|
but oh well..does money make the man? or is he just being honest...moving along he contradicts himself:
Quote:
It's 100 years from now. How are people going to remember you?
Rogers: As a fine young gentleman, a hard worker and someone who put his team before himself.
|
or does he-you decide, but while your deciding:
rolle is up and he's alittle more practical;
Quote:
Finish this sentence: The first thing I will buy after signing an NFL contract will be ...
Antrel Rolle's first purchase will likely involve a realtor.
Rolle: A comfortable place to live in the city where I am drafted.
|
but definitly not lost the confidence
Quote:

Antrel Rolle's first purchase will likely involve a realtor.
Rolle: A comfortable place to live in the city where I am drafted.
|
and to the second round:
marlin jackson
fiesty isn't he
Quote:
What other position do you wish you could play?
Jackson: I wish I could play linebacker. They're so close to the line and hitting. They're up close and personal, meeting the running backs right when they hit the hole.
|
now thisis a good answer
Quote:
It's 100 years from now. How are people going to remember you?
Jackson: As a geniune guy, a guy that got his job done and cared about other people.
|
based on the above--i'd pick
1. thomas davis
2. marlin jackson
3. adam terry
but I'd pick them there anyway so have fun.
