Armchair GM Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dish/201204/accountant-play-football-miami-dolphins Great story that I will continue to follow...I wish this kid all the best!
buffaloboyinATL Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Great story that I will continue to follow...I wish this kid all the best! agreed, but man, I'm not sure you could make that kind of change in just 10 weeks without some kind of PED. Great story so far though.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 agreed, but man, I'm not sure you could make that kind of change in just 10 weeks without some kind of PED. Great story so far though. Yeah man, I mean muscle memory is one thing but that kind of transformation in two and a half months is highly unlikely without some kind of help.
Alaska Darin Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 agreed, but man, I'm not sure you could make that kind of change in just 10 weeks without some kind of PED. Great story so far though. Go hire a real professional trainer and a sports dietician. You'll be amazed at what your body is truly capable of if you're really willing to put the work in and be completely dedicated to it.
Rubes Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Cool story, I'm surprised I hadn't heard it around here yet. He went to Westminster College, which is right around the corner from my house. Excellent small college.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Go hire a real professional trainer and a sports dietician. You'll be amazed at what your body is truly capable of if you're really willing to put the work in and be completely dedicated to it. 25lbs of muscle and 7% BF drop in 10 weeks is not natural, I don't care if your diet is perfect and you train nonstop. The body only grows when you rest and if you are working out 3 times a day for sixty days when does your body rest? You also need food to fuel muscle growth, to eat clean enough to lose 7% bodyfat in 60 days doesn't make sense if you're gaining 25 pounds in that time. Just doesn't add up, feel good story or not. I'm 6 ft 217lbs, it took me 2 years of training very hard and eating right to go up from 160, If I would of had his trainer and dietician I'd weigh 460 lbs by now(just being a smartass to make a point)
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Good stuff. Didn't the Raiders just sign a tight end prospect who hadn't played college football? I think it was a guy who played basketball in college. Maybe I missed it but I don't remember the article stating Brown's height and weight.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 "Les Brown, an accountant at a private equity investment firm in West Palm Beach, Fla., just signed a contract to play tight end for the Dolphins. ... moved to Hawaii to workout full-time with other NFL hopefuls to get ready for pro scouts. He worked out three times a day, six days a week in a "three-month boot camp." All that worked was needed, since Brown had to impress cynical NFL scouts at BYU's pro day on March 29. "I was a no-name guy coming out of nowhere. I knew I had to turn some heads," he said. In short, the results were mind-boggling. Brown had the best vertical jump (39 inches), broad jump (10 feet, 3 inches), 40-yard time (4.43) of all the football hopefuls attending BYU's pro day." http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dish/201204/accountant-play-football-miami-dolphins

That is impressive. Let's see how he does after being lit up running down the field to cover a kickoff and opens his eyes only to be looking out of his ear hole. He may want to go back to crunching numbers.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Well I hope he makes it. It's a great story that a regular dude makes it. Actually I hope he gets cut after the preseason and signs with us and becomes a probowler a scores 4 TDs a game against the fins .
Calgary_JG Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Remember when the Bills would make a move like this? and...so you're saying Ive got a chance haha!
billsfan89 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Its a nice camp story. A real feel good type story. I hope the guy makes a few cuts and hangs around. In the end I think that the best the guy could hope for is making the practice squad and sticking around long enough to see some NFL playing time.
FleaMoulds80 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Early cut. No Les. No more. Whether he makes it or doesn't make the cut, that's VERY impressive. Would love to see how close you'd get.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Let's see... Steve Johnson Scott Chandler Mario Williams Mark Anderson Bryan Scott OR... Trading Brandon Marshall for a couple of 3rds Missing out on Manning An accountant to play TE Signed David Gerrard GO BILLS!!

dayman Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Stop hating on this guy. NFL players are really nothing special if you can play you can play.
