I got on the Adam Schein video mailbag!

I had recently emailed Fox Sports NFL writer Adam Schein about the QB situation in Minnesota. Toward the end of the segment he responds to my question and gives a shout out for Vermont fans.

Record-setting Vermont WR must break 4.5 40 to get a look

What bothers Spaulding High School alumnus David Ball is that he still looks so ordinary. He thought it would be different. For now, though, 20 yards is his enemy. In his mind, the last 20 yards of that 40-yard dash are denying him NFL acceptance. His first 20 yards project to a 4.4 or less. But the last 20 are ordinary.

Vermont Combine Update

As NFL draft dat is rapidly approaching and NASCAR is just getting under way, I thought it would be a good time to check on our local football hero David Ball. If you recall, while attending UNH, David broke several NCAA records including the TD record formerly held by Jerry Rice. Being a fellow Spaulding High School graduate (class of 84), I've been trying to keep track of him.

I found this scouting report from the NFL combines. It basicly ranks him as a 4th or 5th receiver or perhaps a multi-purpose guy like Wes Welker (now with the Patriots). I think he has good potential as a slot receiver.

At any rate I wish David the best of luck in finding a home in the NFL. Go TIDE!
