SuperBills12 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I remember him being a great complement to Thurman Thomas...He was a 7th round draft choice if memory serves me correct and was an inspirational story for making the team and doing well...however, I'll always remember the fumble on the 1 yard line against San Fran, and it getting returned 99yards sealing the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that derailed him after that. Not sure if that was the complete reason though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightRider Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Link Wow, the guy had more bad luck after signing with the Colts in 1999. Never recovered from the ankle break... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So awful. I was stunned when that happened. Thought we had a TD and Plummer went the whole way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I used to live up the street from John Muir High School. That article makes it seem like such mean streets. It really was a great place to live. The high school marching band on Friday nights was always great to listen too ! I have fond memories of Alta Dena which is where John Muir is located. Just a few minutes from the Rose Bowl. Which I always could hear the bands from the Rose Bowl games as well. Ahh ! Sweet memories ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#89 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I saw in in '99 when he played with the Colts and then in 2003 and 2004 after Bills games in the players parking lot after the games quite a few times. He has an entertainment type business. Somewhere I have his business card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 If I remember correctly, he made some wild, highlight-reel plays for the Bills, often breaking numerous tackles and finding his way into the endzone. Only problem was, he often was running the wrong way. That's why they made no effort to keep him. Also, didn't he at one point declare that he was better than O.J. Simpson, or something to that effect? Perhaps someone can refresh my memory here - there was more to his story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had flashes, and I was sad to see him go, but he was nothing special... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
