After failing to be invited to any of the postseason collegiate All-Star Games, former 2-time "All-ACC" center and walking human-interest story Sean Bedford has silenced all the doubters and is now playing professional football!
In Spain.
Bedford is playing "futbol Americano," near Madrid, Spain, for Los Osos Rivas. Crowds are in the dozens. The team doesn't have a full practice field. Some players, who vary in age from 18 to 43 and weigh between 130 and 330 pounds, don't have cleats. Bedford plays four positions and was recently promoted to player-coach because one of the team's five coaches quit. |
How quaint. I hear Bedford has actually become quite a popular player over there, as diving at the other guy's knee-caps really whips the "dozens" of Spaniards on-hand into a frenzy. No word on whether he's been plunked by any fireworks or urine bombs as of yet, but the season is still young.
(((((42-34))))) hahahahahahahahahahaha

To those who commented with vulgarity,
ReplyDeleteThis article is not intended to take shots at Bedford, who I'm sure is a fine young man. The intent is to illustrate the fact that a 2-time All-ACC center in Johnson's offense cannot even get a sniff of the NFL. This jives with Nick Claytor leaving a year early because he didn't feel another year in this offense would enhance his draft stock.
I know some would say we don't need "NFL" type offensive linemen to run this offense, but something like this most certainly narrows the talent pool Tech can select from. After all, do you want a shot at millions in the big leagues, or do you want to be eating in some elementary school cafeteria in Spain?
Johnson has boasted himself about how he's sent players to the NFL at "all" positions except QB, but clearly there is a prejudice if a former 2-time All-ACC lineman can't even get into a collegiate all-star game.
