Jake Locker passes up on 10 million!
Jake Locker passed on the draft to help his college team the Washington Huskies gain there fame back. The way this guy fires missiles down the field and his MC Hammer style of "Can't Touch This" elusiveness, would have made him a 1st round pick for sure and easily earn a 10 mill contract.
Ok, here comes my thoughts on this, Huskie fans you may not want to read this.
1. Jake you a fool, yes a flat out fool! What happens when that weak line of yours get's you pounded from the backside and your on the ground seeing visions birds in the shape of dollar signs?
Then you go to get up and can't your leg is busted nine ways to Sunday and you'll never play again.
I'll tell you what happens. You lose out on a lot of money that's what happens!
2. Jake, do you really think you can make a difference? You could if you had some help. One man can't do it himself. Why do you think Washington has gone so bad over the last 5 years? No good recruiting t hat's why. The coaches up there couldn't bring a 5 star pick if they were giving away 600 Class Benzo's.
3. Jake, take my advice and just walk away from the collage level while you still have a chance young man. Please!
Jake one last thing as I know your reading this, Sept. 17th's game is where you better pray your O-Line blocks like a virgin on her 1st date! You know the game I'm talking about!
These are my thoughts and I'm sticking too them! CrBob
UPDATE - 16 months ago
I told he was crazy to pass up on 10 million!
From Rivals.comLocker is coming off the worst game of his career, a 4-of-20, two-interception effort against Nebraska in which he was thoroughly outplayed by Huskers redshirt freshman QB Taylor Martinez in a 56-21 Nebraska beatdown.
"It was hard to get open, and when we did, I thought maybe Jake was pressing a little," Huskies coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters afterward.
Locker's first pass of the game was thrown into double coverage, and it was picked off. The rest of the day basically followed suit.
"I felt really good about the game plan and felt really comfortable when we got into the game and we just, for one reason or another, we weren't able to execute in the passing game," he told reporters.
Locker also said he would do his best to make sure this loss didn't linger.
"It's the third game of the year," he said. "There is still a lot of football to be played, and the greatest part of this is we get to play another one in two weekends, so it's going to be important to put this one behind us, have two good weeks of work and get ready to start Pac-10 Conference play."
