The Skinny at 249
Just a few picks from Mr. Irrelevant, Benjamin Ebenezer Obomanu may be able to make the squad as a return guy. He has all the tools for a starting NFL receiver, but at run happy Auburn never developed them. Impressively, played games during all 4 years at Aubrun, but never really moved beyond a roll player. Seen by some as a bit light for a NFL pounding and prone to drop the ball, who knows what will happen in a complicated pass offense like Seattle. Looks like another "character" pick with potential--definite special teamer in the near term. Impressive tidbits:- Won the team's "Top Freshman GPA award" his third year with the team
- Was named the team's "Most Improved Offensive Skill Player" twice
- Caught a ball "labeled by the television commentators as a "circus catch"
- Made the Huntsville Times Elite 11 in high school

Boke - had to read the Tidbits two or three times before realizing they were tongue-in-cheek! Nice post.
ReplyDeleteOops, my bad. I just clicked through on the Auburn link and realized that what I thought was classic Bokonon humor was just summarizing pretty shoddy reporting from teh Auburn web site.
ReplyDeleteAt least I'm HOPING he wasn't a freshman for 3 years, or that he won consecutive most improved awards??!!
hee-hee, his middle name is Ebeneezer...does that mean we just got Scrouged?
