If Rolle actually did score a 33, then I wouldn't be quick to scoff at sub 35.

He's the only person (especially sports) that I've agreed with every twitter post I've read from them


He posted “9 minutes 29 seconds” or whatever today, which is a disingenuous post and I can disagree with him from time to time but seems to be a genuinely great man, great husband, and great father. probably the only athlete I follow on Instagram. While I didn’t agree today, he doesn’t race bait, emphasizes the importance of fathers in the house, and is pro-life AF.

Happy for him to have a ring.

If there is no bench they likely didn’t bench

Sure but having one doesn't mean you lack the other.

Do you think he has no common sense?

Absolutely not. Quite the contrary. There are athletes that are heralded as being smart in school but don’t have common sense or character. They are usually the more vocal unfortunately.

Watson’s bench is on there. He’s in the 98th percentile for TE. He did 34 reps

I’m saying he’s one of the good guys.
Unfortunately no one will listen to him.

Straight athletic genetics I’ll throw Yoel Romero in the mix.



Dude looks like this at 43 and hit a backflip to a handstand and then a split in jeans just out of nowhere and didn’t even lose his hat.

Buddy of mine works with the Saints, not employed by them, just does work for them from another employer. He doesn’t know all the inside information or who they wanna draft but gets to know players pretty well. He told me Watson leaving was the toughest pill to swallow not only from him but many of the players. He’s very respected in the league. Fujita, Lofton, are some other guys that were well liked that folks may not know about

Are we talking athletes only? If not, I'll add Jonny Kim to the list.

He is a recipient of a Silver Star, Bronze Star Medal (with Combat "V"), the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (with Combat "V"), and Combat Action Ribbon.

Graduated with a Doctor of Medicine from Harvard Medical School in 2016. In 2017, he completed his medical internship in emergency medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (Top 5 hospital in the world).

On June 7, 2017, he was one of twelve candidates chosen from a pool of over 18,300 applicants to join NASA Astronaut Group 22.He reported for duty on 21 August 2017, and graduated from training on 10 January 2020. He will work in the Astronaut Office while awaiting a flight assignment. On 9 December 2020, NASA formally announced that Kim would join 17 other astronauts in training for a 2024 Moon landing.

As of January 2020, he was on active duty with the Navy Reserve at the rank of lieutenant.
