Steve Young was the first overall pick in the USFL/CFL supplemental draft (would have been first overall coming out of college but didn’t want to play for the Bengals). People forget he played for Tampa for two seasons and was awful. 11 TDS, 22 INTs, barely completed 50% of his passes. Only won 3 games in Tampa.
Went on to be a Super Bowl champ and HOFer. Pretty good 2nd chance.

It's easier when you're throwing the ball to Jerry Rice's sticky hands.

Must not have been using stickum that game. He admitted on air that he used to use some form of adhesive because "everyone else was doing it."

Rice started his career in 1985 and the substance was banned in 1981.

AR’s career stats with the Jets: four plays, zero completions.
And yet he’s the face of the franchise. 😆

Stickum and gloves are two different things unless stickum started making gloves. "Tackified" receivers gloves were available in the mid/late 80's. I had them in HS. Pro's have had them since at least then. Probably became popular after stickum was banned.
Can't have a conversation about Stickum without mentioning Lester Hayes.
He could probably catch the ball with the back of his hands

I remember guys in HS doing the old hobo handkerchief to get something sticky on their hands.
Clifford Franklin knows about stickum' so if you wanna talk about stickum' you should speak with Clifford Franklin, 'cause nobody knows stickum' like Clifford Franklin.

Even though it looked like he was doing hanky panky with an elephant at least he wasn't fraternizing with the cheerleader.
Rodgers should be a QB coach when he retires. I'm not joking
He'd be good at it, just ask him.
He probably would be good at it, except he’d have to answer to a head coach…and he quit listening to head coaches several years ago.

It's refreshing watching that circus from the outside now. 
I'm sure he appreciates not getting the same media scrutiny he received in Green Bay.

Rodgers would probably be mediocre at it, just like most HOFers who go into pro coaching. Ditka (121-95), Raymond Berry (48-39), Forrest Gregg (75-85, 1 SB appearance), Art Shell (56-52), are examples. And then you have HOFers in other sports who also were mediocre coaches: Magic Johnson, Kevin McHale, Larry Bird, Patrick Roy, Wayne Gretzky, et al. The theory is that they are so gifted, and it's so innate, that they don't understand why other guys can't "just do it."
One exception might be Deon Sanders, but we'll have to see if he can carry it over to the NFL.
Carry what over? Two wins and an an ass whoopin? Season ain’t over and they got some more ass whooping on their schedule.
He had success at J State, so let's see what he does in a major college program. Sure, he got whupped, and he'll get whupped some more this year. He tore down everything at CU, so let's see where he goes from here.
In the end, I don't know if he'll actually ever go to the NFL because I think he likes being the brash idol to young guys and it plays well at that age.
Doesn’t look like there’s any kind of brace on his foot?? Crutches, but no boot or cast, shouldn’t he have something on that ankle???
You will need to check with the x4 doctors but Achilles surgery usually doesn’t have a cast.
I would have him in a boot still. Especially on the sideline.
the idea of playing again this year remains a pipe dream. I just don’t see that happening.
Is he on the sideline? I thought they showed him sitting in the box.
Surprised he isn't trying to get a hummer from Taylor
Showed a shot after this Jets TD he is up stairs. That is smart.
