Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia: Former #Bills draft pick and player Michael Jasper is in attendance for tonight's practice. He should be a pro wrestler
machine gun kelly Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 BB- I was thinking the same thing if he has the personality. Tampa is the wrestling haven where they have multiple schools to teach these guys how not to break their neck on these flips, etc, they work on their schtick, etc. They are always looking for mountains like Jasper. It was too bad his footwork was so bad as he was a freak in terms of size, jumping ability, etc. I was a little surprised they didn;t keep him on the practice squad as a project for three years, and eventually work him into a back up role.
Captain_Quint Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 He heard that there would be snacks and mozzarella sticks after practice.
BuffaloFan68 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Jasper is a good kid from what I've read. I was really hoping he would make it with the Bills.
BillsVet Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 They're going to sign and then stash him on the PS as a DT. But secretly, he'll be working as a guard so no one knows. That's how crafy Doug Whaley is, who learned it from his predecessor, who was even more sneaky.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I still have his signed jersey in my man cave.
billsfan89 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I don't think there was ever a marginal prospect that got more hype and more good will from the fans here. People really wanted him to succeed and be the next Ted Washington. Of course there is a reason a player goes in the 7th round and it showed in how he was never able to play with good technique and the NFL doesn't have a D-league where one can work on their craft so ones time to improve is always limited. Still I hope Jasper finds a niche in life. He has been bouncing around the NFL but didn't have a team last year and isn't in a camp this year. Also being almost 29 means his window to be in the NFL isn't wide open. I think he could honestly go to WWE and make a good living as a pro-wrestler. He is huge, carries his weight well, is very physically imposing, and is very athletic. Tons of former football players have had success in that after their NFL careers were over. At 29 he could get into wrestling and do it for a fairly long time. Bill Goldberg comes to mind as an example. Edited August 4, 2015 by billsfan89
buffaloboyinATL Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I don't think there was ever a marginal prospect that got more hype and more good will from the fans here. Really? Signed, D'Rick Rogers
K D Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Really? Signed, D'Rick Rogers he's available, i think he needs another shot to turn into the all-pro that he is
Rubes Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Really? Signed, D'Rick Rogers Nice one. I was thinking Leif Larsen, personally.

Just got back from FL last week and just as I thought I was certain Florida couldn't possible be a bigger dumpster fire, I hear that Tampa has wrestling schools. Awesome.
Mr. WEO Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Really? Signed, D'Rick Rogers Jaspermania was far more over the top. Rogers was more of a running joke for most.
Coach55 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Nice one. I was thinking Leif Larsen, personally. Don't forget... the Bills took Leif Larsen 5 picks before Tom Brady... boy did we get the better pick there.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Just got back from FL last week and just as I thought I was certain Florida couldn't possible be a bigger dumpster fire, I hear that Tampa has wrestling schools. Awesome. because of forest fires ?
Dorkington Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Yeah Mount Jasper! Hopefully whatever he's up to is bringing him a good life.
