Cardiff: Chicks dated the QBs, but partied with the linebackers.
I coached a Spring 8 football team in AYF, prior to going back to Pop Warner for fall ball and saw some amazing speed and in 7th and 8th graders (I also saw 8th graders who were 6′ and had full beards, which was also friggin’ amazing).
Like you say, football is a sport that features some true freaks of nature, athletically, and they’re only getting bigger, stronger and faster.
Not being immodest, but I was recruited to play Catholic school ball and largely because I could deliver the mail, but the hits I see now make me wince. Some of these DBs, especially the safeties, are like guided missiles and play with the hitting ability of linebackers.
