The first place we went was Vienna, and the first player we tried out was Toni Fritsch. This guy was a world-class soccer player. |
The medical part is paramount. It becomes more and more paramount every day, because the bonuses keep going up, and nobody wants to draft somebody who can't pass the physical. |
The things that make a good punt returner or kick returner is if you have really quick acceleration and can change directions real well. (Lions receiver) Roy Williams is one of the fastest, and he's just like Roy. He's full speed in one step. |
There were other places we could have done it, but (the RCA Dome and Indiana Convention Center) have always given us the dates. |
There's nobody close to that Texas streak. And if not for one lost year there, Ohio State would have a perfect record, too. |
They both have a truckload of players, and very good underclass players. The mother lode is at both places. |
They got the right man, I'll say that. They're not far away. |
They missed the boat initially, but the guys have made up lost ground. They went from being not the greatest to very efficient. |
They're all pretty good players, but they aren't great players. That tells you Mack Brown is a pretty good coach, because they were able to win a national championship with just two guys who will be picked in the first round. |
This guy had been a soccer coach in the Balkans. He was saying how these athletes in Europe could kick a ball 80 meters. |
This is a classic case of a guy who could have stayed in school and helped himself by working on his delivery. |
This is much ado about very little. |
This was in the late 1950s, and we held the draft in Philadelphia because that's where the commissioner, Bert Bell, had his office. |
Two years from now, after he's finished his (college) career, I don't think there's any question that this guy's a first-rounder. And I don't think there's any question that he'll be an impact player. |
Usually they're in the ballpark. Seldom do you have a third-round grade and the guy is picked in the first, and seldom do you have a second-round grade and he's picked in the sixth. |
