No guesses? Game over?

JKool · 05-03-2005, 01:09 PM

Is it Brady Smith?

saintswhodi · 05-03-2005, 01:10 PM

Damnit, I call you out, and you get it right. What a load.

You have the floor, and I will be trickier next time. :P

JKool · 05-03-2005, 01:25 PM

Man, Whodi, that last one was HARD.

The clue that got me there was the 9ers 1966 pick. Do you know that Steve Smith, who played DE, was drafted to play WR for the 9ers (at least according to the site I found). Once I had the last name, it wasn\'t TOO hard (though still hard) to figure it out.

Ok, one more from me then.

saintswhodi · 05-03-2005, 01:34 PM

I started to take that part out, I see I should have. :P

JKool · 05-03-2005, 01:36 PM

Alright. Former Saint.

He was all-state in track and all-county in football and basketball as a senior at Great Neck South High School. He caught 104 passes for 1,819 yards in four years at the University of Iowa, led the Big 10 with 22.3 yard average per catch as a junior and was 3rd team All-American as a senior. He was drafted in the third round of the NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers.

That should be tough enough.

I\'ll give you more if you give up.

saintswhodi · 05-03-2005, 01:47 PM

Quinn Early would me my first guess.

JKool · 05-03-2005, 01:49 PM

Damn, Whodi, you are too good! It is, in fact, Quinn Early.

I\'ve got to go, so you\'ll have to find someone else to play for awhile. Don\'t be too hard on them (it took me almost 10 minutes to figure out that it was Brady on that last one.)
