The Titans just gave Mariota TWO IL kids to potentially throw the ball at.

Davis is perfect for what the Titans need. They hoped Taje Sharpe would be the sure hands that are just always open, but Davis IS that.

Adoree might be the best KR entering the league since Hester. His returns were always HUGE moments it seemed. Ripping ND's head off for one.

Love the player just wonder how much football he has in him. Jackson is an elite track and field kid and will be on the short list for the next olympics. Interested to see how this works out.

From what I saw online, Adoree jumped 25-10.75 at the 2016 Olympic trials, earning him 10. For comparison, Cahokia's Ja'Mari Ward leaped 26-1.5 at the U20 Worlds last year.

Ja'Mari is strictly track so you really can't compare however, Adoree was jumping 25' as a 9th grader. Spring ball at USC took away from training.

That's right - a BELLEVILLE boy.

In his heart, Jackson never left Belleville, located just up the road — via one of the longest Main Streets in the United States — from struggling East St. Louis, where he spent many joyful hours at his grandmother's former home and where his family still attends church.

He's following the same path as the Belleville Basher, Jimmy Connors.

I mean OK fine knew his story a long time ago....but he spent one year (his freshman year) in Belleville and graduated in California....so...if any other kid had or has the same deal in Illinois the same rule would apply.

I was more intent on claiming him from ESL to stir that pot ... I'm not tweaking you, Tim.
