Akamp........if it were me, i'd pick a day and drive up to Green Bay. I'd ask to see TT, and then explain why. In GB the "big wigs" are more apt to take a few minutes to see you. And what have you got to lose?
Thats what i would do.

AKamp, your determination is inspiring. And I wish you the very best. I'm really happy that you decided to go through with this.

Thanks Formo,I was hesitant on the hiring of an agent but since I have a friend who does it, it was a lot easier. I will try my best to continue with updates though if anything significant happens.

I have nothing to lose but money :icon_smile:
which I don't have.
I have been tempted to do that here at Soldier...just go and say hey, give me 10 minutes. Obviously, since it is closer and all.
The thought of even playing in Green Bay is insane. My own father (a die hard Bears fan) said he would become a Packers fan if I ever played for them...haha, talk about some motivation!!!! Bringing the old man to his senses!

Akamp,

Hey man GL with this; if I had to do it all over again I would be doing the same thing as you are.

What about going lighter and leaner and playing LBer? I always thought LB was the most challenging but rewarding position to play.

6'3 could be short for a DE but 6'3 is nice as a LBer especially if you got some speed.

Dulak--The thought has crossed my mind. Only two issues stop that from happening. First, I never played the position and I am already finding it tough to make the pros because I didn't play for a "major" college. Second, weight. I started college at 195 and left at 290...yes, almost a 100 pound gain. I grew alot over four years and I have been trying to cut for 2 months now and only managed 10 pounds. If I were able to cut most of my eating habits out, I would probably make a better transition.

OLB would be pretty awesome...haha. Also, if you know AFL rules/positions, there are 2 linebackers and one is like a glorified lineman. I was going to give that a shot if anything.

Did you call/talk to Big Cat and express your extreme DESIRE for at least a work out?

Thats the 1st step....... he still has to know people that might do him a favor ;)

Dont worry about the email that said major colleges, thats just talk we all know small time schools have players.

As others have said, you will regret not doing this in 10 years not even 20.

I used to say this all the time.

Dream it, think it, believe it, do it..

Blitz---no competition :icon_smile:

LT---my lifting and conditioning is completely based off of everything Big Cat has given me. As far as "using" him I basically ask him for information to see if he knows anything. It is hard for me to ask the guy to GET ME a tryout. I know that sounds stupid because if I really really want it, I should just ask right?

you could just say hey...

How would I go about getting invited to a work out?

He might give you information you would have never known about

You bring up a good point LT...I think I can give it a shot. I am actually waiting for his response to my question about this Elite Combine. I wanted to know if he had any good info on it or maybe some dirt.

Zero2Cool (55m) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (1h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (2h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (2h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (3h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (3h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (3h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (3h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (3h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (3h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (3h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (3h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (3h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (3h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (3h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (3h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (4h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (4h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (4h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (4h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (4h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (4h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (4h) : Packers will get in

beast (4h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (4h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (4h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (6h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (7h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (7h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (8h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (17h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (17h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (21h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.
