...But can you blame the kid if he chooses being a quarter back as against a thrower? He looks at himself sees a fit athletic guy, he looks left and sees Reese Hoffa and looks right and sees Eli Manning....what do you do, what, do, you, do?

This is a case where track will just have to play the sacrificial role and allow itself to train and prepare this kid with the athletic prowess that he will need to be a phenominal American football player when he turns 20.

Last year as a frosh, he threw 52-7, so as strong as he is, he will need some good coaching to reach reach the big throws. He had no mark for the discus.

He's 6-6, 280, so he's going to be a lineman in college. He could still compete in track in NCAA.

Depends on where he goes to school. With arms that long, he'll make a beast of an offensive tackle.
