lionheartkc 6,150 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Love having not 1 but 2 of the starting big uglies on the list.... especially Braden who proves you can be All Everything in football and still excel in the classroom (and because he's from my neck of the woods). I wonder if there is anything to be read into the fact that the kicking team always seems to be the smartest squad of them all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean some of those linemen are squatting volkswagons. Has to be physics involved to do some of that kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always been very smart and ultra-talented. He has a lot of family that were great baseball athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Kickers may be the smartest, but I know for sure there was a certain kicker here in the early 2000s who sure liked to party... And party a LOT. He certainly wouldn't of made it on a Gus Malzahn coached team. Either way, proud of those guys. I hate seeing legatron go, but it is nice we are keeping our kicking team in the same bloodline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
