NFL Network covering the regional combine, mentioned Hemphill as a big DB. He's 6-5 249. He seems too slow to make it but good luck to him. Hope it turns out for him like it did for Rayford.

At the time I thought suddenly senior him was fucking stupid. I still remember Elise the dumb cunt that she is talking about how this is a good thing.

How we'll look back and remember how Ty changed the program for the better. It's unbelievable he still coached another two more years after that stunt.

In the all wasted talent thread awhile back I had Hemphill pinned as one of the more perplexing cases of superior talent riding pine in the ty era.

6'5" 249 is huge. I think he would need to drop at least 15 to play safety. He has to be 28 or 29 years old too. Props to him for sticking with it and not giving up, but he's already relatively old to play in the NFL.

That's a big fucking safety.

Chris and I recently submitted his story to the NFL Network for consideration of a documentary. They had put out the call for those kind of stories, where the odds have been stacked against them.

Anyone remember the 2006 Oregon game? Someone got hurt and Hemphill got the start. His first start, first real playing time.

Just looked at his UW bio. 14 tackles, 1 pick (I remember it well) and a fumble recovery. The guy was a potential monster.

CJ Wallace told me that Hemphill was a better athlete overall than he was

Fucking Willingham, seriously. This wasn't even in his last year where he was on scorched Earth policy, this was after year 2.

Chest, I think this is that Oregon game you were talking about.

Derek wrote this article about him back in 2011.

When they first brought him on campus, at 6'5" and 200+#, I felt Hemphill's future was at DE. Like so many guys from the infamous "7 WR" (or was it 8?) class, the real problem was less about who RN recruited, more about how his successors used those guys.

That's a liberal interpretation of the word used.

Howdy, Stranger!
