    In b-ball:

    "Not explosive, not quick, but decent end to end speed. A bad defender at best. Can really turn it up in garbage time. Nice shot with good range and can help stretch defenses. Poor rebounder and above average passing skills with no vision to see the court. Can post up midgets and dwarfs, but rathers stop and pop off the dribble. Projceted to go at 55 to the rockets but could be a steal in the 17th round"


    In football:

    "Great hands and ability to make spectacular plays. Does all the dirty work like wipe up benches, and collect jock straps. Again not very good quickness and not very strong. The sixth receiver on the depth chart. Possibly a Free safety. Not a afraid to hit, but rathers trips players to get them down. A gem in the 7th round of the supplemental draft.

    basketball:
    "Solid point guard. Passes well, shoots well, dribbles well and runs well, but does not do any of them great. Slightly undersized with no ability to post up. Poor ability to run the fast break. A solid second round selection who could possibly help your team."

    football:
    "will get crushed. no football talent. do not select."

    BBall - Slow, aging 6 footer who wants to play on the block like he is Yao Ming. Tenacious rebounder and defender who can hit his shots, though he is streaky. Has no problem bodying up to much larger players as he is very physical and much stronger than he looks.

    Football - Slow, aging 6 foot quarterback who is a better than average passer, despite his lack of height. Nimble in the pocket, but slow on the run, he tends to make quick decisions rather than holding on the ball for downfield opportunities.

    Basketball:

    Hasn't played a full court game in some years. Overweight and out of shape, ability to rebound and set picks give him slight value in a pick up half court game.


    Football:

    Can play a little offensive guard , mostly against people 30-100 lbs lighter. Guys his own size and strength tend to push him around with superior conditioning and technique. In a pinch can play fullback, against much smaller people with limited tackling ability.

    Softball/Baseball

    Can hit line drives in slow pitch softball. Overmatched by real pitching in baseball. No defensive skill, poor range/arm...can be hidden at first base/LF if you are despirate to get his mediocre bat into your lineup.

    Boxing/Fighting

    Right handed, good reach, decent chin. Almost all power is in right hand, can really only jab with left. Slow and plodding but tenacious, willing to absorb punishment. A trained athletic fighter will make short work of him, but he could hurt an untrained or careless opponant.

    Basketball:
    5' 11" Decent first-step, and good speed in the open court. Average free-throw shooter, range on jumper almost to three point line. Play him to his left on the dribble, although finishes well with both hands. Good rebounder for his size, and a strong interior defender. Will block shots. Competent perimeter defender, will gamble for steals though. Average passer, makes reasonable decisions, but definitely not outstanding. Not capable of playing major minutes at the point. An undersized 2.

    Soccer:
    Pacy left-sided player. Has two good feet, and is capable of scoring with either. Has the ability to go past defenders, but weak in the air. Poor tackler. Could play up front, or wide right cutting inside, but best suited to playing as a left winger. A goal threat.

    Cricket:
    Slow left arm bowler. Gains a good degree of turn, but is sometimes inaccurate. Can bowl brisk in-swing if the occasion demands. Left-handed batsman, quick scoring, tending towards the impetuous. Usually bats in the first four. Strong straight, and through the leg side.

    Rugby:
    Has played all positions in the back line. Good pace, and kicks well off both feet. Excellent tackler, belies his size. Very aggressive and physical. More likely to create a break using footwork than imaginative passing. Good finisher. His best position is probably full back.

    Basketball:
    An ‘unguardibility’ factor of 10 like a shadow at high noon ~ everywhere and nowhere at the same time - unlimited range be it behind the arc or above the rim.

    Soccer:
    Unbelievable separation ability with machine timed 4.2 40's – the power of a NFL linebacker with the finesse of Pele’.

    Football:
    Once described as a white Randy Moss before anyone even knew who Randy Moss was.

    Baseball:
    A fit Babe Ruth.

    Gravity defying winners with either hand ~ like a magician with styrofoam.

    Basketball: Good game either facing or with his back to the basket. Nice repoitoire of post moves including a hook he can shoot out to 15 feet and a strong up and under move. Extremely accurate from free-throw line and had can shoot the three-ball. Finishes shots well around the bucket. Excellent man-on-man defender, but gets too carried away with trying to block every shot, leaving him out of position for some rebounds. Tends to foul too much due to his aggressive style and tires quickly if guarding a smaller, quicker player. Plays with a great deal of fire and emotion, wants ball in crunch time. Good on-court leader.

    Baseball: Good repoitoire of pitches with a fastball that has good movement in the mid to high 80's. Has a tough-to-hit hammer curve, vicious slider and change-up he can all throw for strikes. Has good mound presence, not easily rattled. Can be streaky at times. Has good speed with the bat and can spray the ball to either field. Needs more discipline at the plate and he is vulnerable to breaking pitches thrown inside.

    Golf: Excellent drive off the tee, however lacking in accuracy. Tends to take too many foolish chances. Putting is subpar and he can not hit his irons for distance or accuracy. Needs a lot of work on short game.

    Football: Good pass-catching tight end with big, soft hands. Can outleap defenders for passes. Willing, if fundamentally poor blocker who lacks the upper body strength to be of much use at the point of attack. Can line up as wide receiver or tight end and has enough speed to stretch a defense. Tough matchup for any defensive back 6 ft. or under. Excellent competitiveness and instincts, wants the ball in crunch time. Needs at least 20 more pounds of muscle to be an effective tight end at the college level.

    Basketball. A project at best. Not a work out warrior. Tenacious rebounder for being under six footer. Keeps good defensive position against larger/slower players in the blocks. Has great timing on shot blocks, but lacks the athletism to make the block. Offensively, posts up stickmen very well. Excellent vision, but passing accuracy causes turnovers.

    Softball. only has fence power. Ability to pull any pitch down third base line, but would prefer to go opposite field on a pitch outside. Impossible to shift against. Defensively, he can't play in space. Excellent opportunity to stretch a single to a double on him as he never recovered from a minor arm injury.

    Football. More apt to freelance than run precise route. Uses body to shield defender while catching ball. Able to get two feet in if possible. He's a throwback fullback. Loves to block. Loves to inflict pain between the lines. Tries to stiff arm too high sometimes. Excellent man in the film room. gets yards after contact. Defensively. Doesn't play well in space. Wraps up very well. forces QB to make long throws as he doesn't give up inside route. Jumps short routes well. Can be beat by pump fake. Can be beat by speed receiver, easily. Doesn't recover well.

    That sounds like me! Except I'd add that I have a tendency to send a lot of people to the hospital. I also get concussions rather easy (6 in rugby over 4 years, don't worry only one was serious:D )

    bama reminded me of golf and baseball...doh!

    baseball:
    A decent fastball in the 80s with some movement. Decent changeup and curveball as well. Curveball is more of a slurve, clocking in the mid 60s. Can control fastball and change very well, but he has trouble with the slurve. Good starter, but loses right mental frame when he comes out of the bullpen.

    golf:
    Straight and long off the tee. Has variety of shots, scrambles well. Irons are weak, he has trouble hitting them accurately. Around the green he is superb, until he gets onto the green, where he miserably fails.

    basketball: good court leader - very good at setting up the pick and roll. excellent range, can hit off of picks. average ball handler, with the left hand being the weaker. somewhat undersized (not in the pants) - but can post up on bigger players nonetheless with a european looking hook/scoop. good defender except when being forced into considerable size mismatch. likes to be flashy on fast breaks - but will usually let another player finish (fancy passes unless being forced into an easy layup).

    hockey - solid forward with a quick wrist shot. above average stickhandling - excellent vision. strong on skates - hard to knock down. decent at best when skating backwards - yet nearly impossible to get the puck through skates, must go around or pass around. not a great slapshot, but likes to be pesky around the net.

    football - good wide receiver with honorable mention MVP 5 years ago in HS junior team, he gave the QB the stats he needed to steal this award away. great hands, can beat almost any defender in an all out sprint - decent footwork, runs routes well and knows when to adjust. good communication with QB - however, can be stopped if defender stays a good distance in front of him - just make sure he's not running a cut-back route.

    soccer - slightly above average, good speed, not great footwork, solid shot. can beat defender with speed but not when forced into a jam. solid defender.

    golf - drives around 260 - fairly straight. mid game is what pulls score down, failing mildly with the wedge on occasion. decent putter - with easy misses coming just as often as great saves. handicap hovers around 15.

    Basketball: He is a great team player due to the fact that he has no shooting ability and can't dribble but he crashes the boards. He's 6' and still growing. He has a 36" vertical and great explosiveness; he runs the floor very well. He is a project but a team like the Rockets should consider drafting him at #55.

    Football: He has a fantastic first step but he also has terrible hands - he can't catch anything. However, he is great at tackling.

    Baseball: He can't hit ANYTHING and his catching is even worse!

    Hockey: He can't skate to save his life.

    Basketball:

    A PG with 2 blown ankles. Don't bother drafting him unless you feel the need to fill the IR. Competent defender with quick hands, but undersized heightwise and oversized weightwise. Best ability was slashing and passing, but blown ankles have limited him to a Eric Snow type player: streaky shot, decent passer, decent handles. Rebounds decently (as long as he doesn't have to outjump people) and can play in the post well. Very good team player, gives his 100%, but lack of talent is a concern.

    Football:

    A possession receiver. Unbelievably good hands, rarely drops passes, and makes extraordinary catches. Still, no acceleration or breakaway speed, and relies on sharp cuts and routes to shake off the defender. No burst of speed off the line, and not as physical a specimen as you'd want in your WR.

    ok I'll play the game and brag about my athletic prowess-

    Baseball: Rangy center fielder with a cannon for a right arm. Good leadoff man, with good baserunning talent. Don't ask him to pitch cause he don't know how.

    Basketball: Can play 1-5; best at the three though, but very qucik at taking the ball up the court. Never seems to slow down. Shot is a little broke but doesn't shoot much. Penetrate and dish is the motto.

    Track: Triple Jump is the sport, far is the distance.

    Rugby: See above

    Soccer: Golden Toe, often kicks it too far, can get a little carried away and end peoples careers with violent slide tackles.

    Skateboarding... Just give him a long board and he'll come back very bloody but with a big grin on his face.

    Surfing: Not a strong swimmer.

    Basketball: an undersized combo guard(5'9) who weighs 150 soaking wet. Great defender when he feels like it but size make him vulnerable to being posted up by other big guards. Extremely quick in the open court, has some good range on jumpshot but streaky and is a good rebounder.

    Football: Special Teams(punt and kickoff return but once he's hit he's down for good)

    A constant trash talker at both sides of court, known for specializing in verbal humiliation... good size, deadly outside shooter, incredible ball handler and slasher... gets pushed around too much inside, can't box out at all... tries to make the tough passes, enjoys staring at his opponents' crotches just to get into their heads, also enjoys hearing the sound of his shoes squeaking up the floor.
