ESPN Dramatic Reading

Hey Yardbarkers, I have a surprise for you. I know all y'all see me as a bruising Fullback, however little do you guys know, I am also a trained thespian. Upon graduation of college I had a dilemma on whether to go into my first love which is acting or professional football. I reluctantly chose football. While I was out in NY for the NFL draft, ESPN The Magazine gave me a chance to get back to my roots and show all the haters that I can cross over at any time. Below is some of my best work. Excuse my French/ country side accent, I've been away from the game for a while. Enjoy.

  I like your blog a lot. It's definitely one of, if not THE best on this site. I see you have Halo 3 as your favorite video game. So what do you get down with: Slayer? And who do you play with: teammates or do you hop on the Live scene? Good luck this season and good luck with camp. College football camp was unbearable. I can't even imagine pro camp.

    pro camp is rough but i think college camp is just as hard but without the mental anguish u got at the pros. and regarding HALO 3 i absolutely love that game. i might have to start going to rehab to pull myself away. i usually play team slayer on xbox live and completely demolish anyone who gets in my way

  I think my previous comment dissapeared. Just wanted to drop a note to say that it is great to see your career progress. Loved to see you play in Baltimore. Oh, and that reading was crazy! LOL!

  OMG, Ovie! It was so great hearing your voice again! You haven't changed much since the good ole days, except a little muscle toning here and there! ;) And good job, you thespian, you!!!
