We'll have to run it by Tagliabue. We might just have you prowl the sidlines with a clipboard instead. You can keep track of defensive formations and help me write my half-time speeches. Hopefully, you're in the middle of vigorous off-season training as we speak. We're talking about an 8th round pick here! Don't make us look silly. That’s gonna take a whole lotta sting pullin’ buddy.

Pencil me in! I can throw a Nerf Football really far so hopefully the league will be cool with me bringing a Nerf onto the field. That’d be perfect. Pencil me in!

That's what I call gusto! We were testing you. Hell, Latham, the way our number one pick Alex Smith stumbled around the gridiron spasmodically at QB for us this year, we not limit you to a season of resting on a knee, holding the pigskin for some retired eastern european soccer player to caromb off the uprights. We might even pencil you in at 4th string Quarterback. Whaddya think of that? *No strings attatched. *We would like you to direct this year's training video, however. Now THAT”S what I call grit!

Thanks Mike Nolan! That would be sweet if the 49ers drafted me. I'd be happy to be a field goal placeholder or whatever position you need me at. Niners here I come! P.S. Can't wait to see this year's training video! Awesome! Thanks Mike Nolan! That would be sweet if the 49ers drafted me. I’d be happy to be a field goal placeholder or whatever position you need me at.

I'm the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers and I'd like you to reconsider your decision. As you might know, the 49ers have a legendary history filled with glory and triumph. We've won 5 Super Bowls which is a record I believe. Unfortunately our franchise has totally unraveled in the last several years. Now we stink. With your 5.9 time in the 40 you could be, by my estimation, the 17th fastest guy on our squad (including lineman). With the draft coming up, whether you like it or not, we intend to draft you in the 8th round. We haven't yet decided which position to play you at (we are leaning toward field goal placeholder) but we have a prettty good feeling that your "yes anding" skills may be enough to justify what will certainly be cosidered an unorthodox draft pick. We really can't get any worse. But we could stand to get a lot more spontaneous. Get ready to strap it on big guy! You're gonna be drafted!! Hello.

It was never confirmed whether or not the glue-eating record was legit. But I believed it. That’s probably for the best. It was never confirmed whether or not the glue-eating record was legit.

Zach is right. I better start practicing. Mel Kiper Jr. has me going in the 3rd round as a fullback. He must've been watching some of my flag football games or something.
