6'5"
282 lbs
played WR at Episcopal before he left, so he's got some background

What Gordon could have been had he been a little faster and jump higher. Bridgewater needs to get his arse out there training.

I've always wondered why the hell this guy didn't play football from the beginning. His size with the athleticism to play D-1 basketball is promising, not to mention his football past.

and he isn't particularly good on the hard court, but he was a beast the 1 year of HS he played WR

definitely wonder why he didn't go with fb given his size at PF

If I'm 6'5 285 with ball skills i'm 100% slimming down a bit and playing tight end. Don't even know why he considered basketball.

1 year of playing 2a high school football qualifies him as a beast?

He was offered as a sophomore to play for LSU. He would have been a 4*

Yes, he was a beast.


Someone gave him terrible advice to play basketball instead of football.


While he is undersized for Basketball, with virtually zero shot to make the NBA for his position, he would have been great size for football with an excellent chance at the NFL.

Basketball players have a lower risk of injury and get bigger paychecks in the pros.

How many 6'5" big men are collecting paychecks?

Charles Barkley is the only under 6'5" PF/SF that comes to mind but he had amazing hops for his size and build.

Google young Charles if all u know is the Chuck that does goofy stuff on TNT.
