Why Jordan Poyer credits Matt Barkley for his NFL career

Jordan Poyer was an accomplished two-sport star in college at Oregon State in football and baseball. In fact, Poyer was a 42nd round draft choice of the Florida Marlins in 2009. But the Bills safety points to a seminal moment in his college athletic career where he decided if he was going to be a professional athlete it was going to be in football.

Poyer had an interception return for a touchdown in a night game against USC, and it was then that he determined that football would be his professional path.

What many didn't realize is that his current teammate, QB Matt Barkley, was the USC quarterback who threw him the interception.

And more than once, Poyer has told Barkley jokingly that he deserves a lot of credit for his professional football career.

"I've brought it up to him yes," Poyer confirmed. "Actually we got drafted to Philly together. So, I was in Philadelphia with him. And I brought it up to him there I'm always bringing it up to him telling him, 'Hey, you're the reason why I'm here.' That feeling (on that interception) was pretty good and I appreciate it."

Poyer still marvels at how his professional path with Barkley has crossed more than once in their respective careers and he's grateful for it.

Don, you know Pluto is not a planet anymore per my scientific source (the Big Bang theory).  Ball busting is an art form amongst good friends.  Difference between guys and girls.  Not one better than the other, but my closest friends would bust ba..s, and if not mean spirited would always laugh it off.

That's a true friend....

 

Reminds me of the quote: A good friend will come and bail you out of jail, but a best friend will be sitting next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'

In that Christmas themed Bills clip players get asked which player they'd give as a present and they all say Isiah McKenzie because he's the one that would fit in the box.

Boy players are cheap. Just buy a bigger box and mail Winters back to Gase in NY NJ.
