Which side does he play? Jansen or Samuels. I think either one of our guys can drive him in the dirt.....not that he will actually make the team. If he was any good, he wouldn't be a wrestler.

i don't want to seem afraid or anything

but you never know about these guys. he has power and the ability to move well. he may not have played before, but if the guy has enough of a desire to play he may suprise us all.

According to the article, he will be playing defensive tackle, which is a little suprising.
A few things to remember about Lesnar:
1. He won't be seeing any playing time this season, and he doesn't expect to. He realizes that this is going to be a long process, and doesn't have unrealistic expectations as far as becoming a superstar or anything anytime soon.
2. He was good enough to play football out of college, or at least Tony Dungy thought so anyway. He tried to sign him, but instead Lesnar went for the multimillion dollar contract of the WWE.
3. The guy is an absolute animal, physically anyway. He is a former NCAA heavyweight champion who is built like a lineman but can run like a saftey.
So, yes, it's a long shot, but I don't really consider it a freak show...

I thought he had gone to camp and got cut and that's why he chose wrestling. very interesting...

this is all good till he forgets where he's at and goes running into the middle of the field with a steel chair to take out the ref.

Brock Lesnar could be a decent player after a couple of years of practice. He's definitely got the size strength and mobility. All I want to see though is an F-5 on Bill Parcels and Quincy Carter.

I heard yesterday on the radio that he didn't even play college football. Strictly a wrestler. Being big and athletic is OK. You need more than that though. You gotta have football instincts. Good luck to him. I hope he has success (except for January 2nd).

They do, but it's alittle different. If they test you and don't find steroids, you are fined or suspended....

The WWE doesn't have a steroid policy, but the NCAA does. He is basically the same size he was in college, and he passed every test they ever gave him...

In a related story, sources confirm that the Green Bay Packers, in a move to keep up with the Vikings' signing of "The Next Big Thing", are abroad hoping to convince

"The Ugandan Head Hunter" out of retirement.
Gilbert Brown who?
