I have my own reasons for wanting to grab'em
Ford grew up a few houses down, I used to play ball with his older brother Davy who played for FSU but tore both knees out by his sophmore year. IMO Davey would have been a pro. He was good, Fred Taylor good he just couldn't stay healthy. Every Sat. we would meet up and play pickup games with a lot of the talent from the area. Guys like Anquan Boldin, Fred Taylor and Vinny Sutherland would show up from time to time. There were 2 instances where a guy brought his little brother and the kid amazed. The first one was Devin Hester and the second Jacoby Ford. The kid can fly. To be honest I stopped playing the pickup games a few years ago but I still try and make it every Sat to at least catch a beer afterwards. Guys like Taylor and Boldin didn't show up much, it wasn't like some all star game every Sat. but from time to time there was a surprise. One day I decided not to go and my buddy called and said Chad Johnson came out and played for a bit.
