Wow, he's huge. the link says that he's 6'4" and 3/4ths... He looks like he's 6'6". He plays well on defense too. Looks like he could grow in the a DT.
Sometimes guys like this turn out to be "freaks", and I mean that in the most positive sense,...... make us proud Tony!
Tony was a star in basketball, he looks like a great TE! Heck, he could help our basketball team now! LOL
Ever played a pickup basketball game with football players? The style of play is “no autopsy, no foul,”
Tony and Boardingham should be the future at TE. I expect both to play a bunch next year. We really need Tony’s athleticism on the field.
I played some fraternity league games. In one of them, I tried to block out Lomas Brown. To his credit, he was really nice and not as rough as one would think. He had some mercy on us. I will never get over how quick he was for his size.
I played against UF football players and basketball players too. I can't remember any really noticeable difference in the physicality of the games. I was fortunate to play in a lot of "A Level" pickup games so I was used to a different level of play. I sprained my ankle once when I landed on Ron Enclade's foot. I also got to guard Richard Glasper once. That was a lot of fun! I didn't know who he was and I held up pretty good against him. Some guys came up to me after the game and were very complementary. They asked me if I knew who I was guarding and when they told me I was like "Wow!!". One of UF's assistant coaches told me he thought Glasper was quicker than Phil Ford.
