Asked him what he thinks about the Richt hiring. He said "you already know". He's a really cool dude & an absolute monster.

If he had stayed healthy at UM I think we would talk about Armstead in the same sort of discussions as Ray, Ed, Sean, and Jerome. He was pretty **** good anyway.

I don't kno Swag. It's hard to say but one thing no one can deny is he was one third of the best starting linebacker group in the history of Miami if not of college football period. Jesse, Mike and Darren all three at close to 4.4, all first round, and all lasted in the league.

Just don't understand why we can't find LB's as fast as these guys were...If the d-line could not put the pressure on these guys, and esp Jesse, were flying around edges to make tackles in the backfield...

There could be an LB starting group to top him and Barrow and Smith - but it hasn't happened yet and it's been 25 years....

Jessie used his NFL money to invest in Honda dealerships. They did so well that he was recently named Black Entrepeneur of the Year for the Northeast region. He's probably one of the most successful Canes outside of football.

He also works in personnel for the Giants so he's still close to the game. He told me at the spring game that his favorite thing about Richt is that he doesn't use a million schemes. Just simple, sound football.
 
OJ Anderson, Jim Burt, Jesse Armstead, J Shockey, Beason, Rolle, Flowers, and attempts with Kenny Phillips, Adewale Ojomo, and Bruce Johnson. My Giants have quite the track record of Canes comin thru. And I'm sure I'm forgetting a few off the top of my head.

I still remember the fsu games those years. They had heck of a lb group too. What talent on those fields back then. Speed kills. What went wrong.

"all first round"

Except for the fact that none of them went in the first round.
 
They weren't 1st-round draft picks....

Barrow was definitely not a 4.4 - I remember him being around a 4.6....

Smith was a 4.4 and Armstead may have been before his injury as a freshman....
