Sims wasn't a fullback, he was a twitchy TB with size who I think got a cup of coffee with NY Giants.

Looks like we're both right. From one of the articles under your link: https://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Huskies-Notebook-Sims-forcing-his-way-into-1152556.phpDerekJohnson said:

James Sims isn't sure if he wants to be out front or behind the scenes, and that fits because he may be Washington's secret weapon this year playing a mutant position.
Sims, an Academic All-American, cinema studies major and sketch comedy enthusiast, is not really a fullback, but he will play one for the Huskies on TV. Fullbacks are not 209 pounds. Fullbacks don't run 4.4 40-yard dashes. Fullbacks don't graduate high school with 4.0 GPAs and serve as student body presidents...But on a team with a 280-pound tailback -- bruising freshman Johnie Kirton -- perhaps Sims makes sense.
Basically they switched him from safety because he was an athletic freak with zero instincts and for some mid-2000s UW fuckery decided backup fullback. I don't think he actually played much of any in that role and was a tailback by the time he received real carries. -
Maybe we’ll all do a pod on squandered talents and players who got too much time that they should have squanderedDoogles said:

I liked Sims a lot. He probably could have been at least a better college running back with actual coaching.Doogles said:

Isn’t this supposed to stay in the chat?

Pretty sure Sims was the 12th man vs Michigan in 2002

Always read this as Joe ED anger obviously.
If @JoeEDangerously owned a chain of bar restaurants I'm sure they'd be called "Joey Dangerously's"
Angry Joe’s more likely. Doug Baldwin stole my gimmick before I could copyright it I guess

It was one of the two. I'm right until I'm wrong though.
