"During five of the seven semesters he had been enrolled at Ohio State through 1997, Katzenmoyer earned a 1.72 grade point average or lower.
In 1999, Sports Illustrated conducted an investigation into allegations that Katzenmoyer received special treatment in order to be academically eligible his junior year.
By the end of the 1997-1998 academic year, Katzenmoyer had pulled in a GPA less than the required 2.0 needed to play.
The result was two summer school sessions that were to be used to get his GPA to 2.0 in time for the 1998 season.
SI’s investigation found that Katzenmoyer’s classes that summer included: AIDS: What Every College Student Should Know and golf."
"underwear olympics"
But I was wondering why SEE posted how JJB was making money with his 40 time and didn't include any context to whether or not his 40 time was any good.
Second slowest time of all safeties in his combine class. There was a lot of hand wringing at the time.
Pro-Bowl appearance and first team All-Pro in his second year in the NFL.
The main reason why is that the number one predictor of NFL success is college production, which the perennial top teams use for their draft board.
The bottom feeders fall in love with NFL combine (aka underwear olympics) wonders.
Imagine watching three years of tape on Hamilton in college and thinking he wasn't worth a top ten pick because he ran .15 seconds slower than people expected in a straight line track meet. The Ravens picking him and teams like the Giants/Falcons passing on him is why the Ravens are an excellent franchise and the others are not.
Oh look at that, he's one of the top two safeties in the league in year two.
