We’ll see how things play out in camp. One thing he has in his favor – playing in Louisiana will serve him well when he gets to that volcano-hot misery that Spartanburg can be in July and August.

Oh and by the way I went to Texas A&M so I have no dog in this fight. It was common knowledge during the draft process that the kid was selfish and egotistical so I have my doubts that he lasts longer than training camp. He was buried on the depth chart at UVA and finished 5th at Southern (what conference are they even in?) in receptions for the 2011 season. Not NFL material.

I love it and wish the young man the best.

Most athletes 30 years younger cant touch that.

No word yet on what kind of candy Jared Green uses.

I do NOT understand why some things get nuked here. Let’s see if it survives this time…I’ll explain before hand this time that this was a reference to Darrel Green’s secret to his speed…

Eat tootsie rolls kid they make ya run faster! :)

Jared clearly has speed, so if he can bring his dad’s dedication he will find a niche in the NFL.

I see what you did there. Clever.

Good luck to him.

GL to his son. Deserves a shot.

Sounds like he has been preparing for just that…

Texas A&I University. Way to go Darrell. Some small guy from a school you never heard of making it a HOF career. Who’s next?
