They love them some "Myles Jack" on the NFL articles. Of the 5 "14 for '14" lists, he's on 3 of them.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

Agreed. And no doubt, the kid's a gamer. But, maybe they should take a gander at the only watchable part of our bowl game last year to see how he's vulnerable to being absolutely steamrolled by a massive QB.

Let's be real though. How many Logan Thomas's does someone even have to think about trying to tackle over the course of a season?

He's lucky that he only met Logan. Can you imagine if he met Sam Rogers? Sam would've knocked him so hard that his name would be Myle Jack cause Sam would've knocked the "s" out of him.

I'll see myself out.

Im so glad Kyshoen Jarrett comes back this year. He's tough as nail.

Couldn't agree more.

Since you left the s of of nails, I read that in my head with a Russian accent. HA!

Oh you don't believe he's tough??? Just ask Devin Street!

KJ34 always seems to have a big play against Pitt.

Wasn't he committed to them in HS at one time? Looks like he has shown no mercy to the team he was once supposed to be a part of.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

That's right, he was committed to Pitt and then backed out after Wannstedt was fired. Worked out great for us.

I remember the announcers going all "That was a dirty hit. Look at him leading with his head against a defenseless receiver."

Of course I'm thinking if they actually saw the hit as they replayed it in slow motion and you could see clearly shoulder to shoulder contact against a receiver that was running forward a few yards after catching the ball.

And those are the things that annoy me about announcers...to call a clearly clean hit a dirty hit when it's our player making the hit, and to call a clearly dirty hit a clean hit when it's another team making the hit against our player.

Also didn't help that one of the announcers was a Pitt alum.

"Exit light..."

I was just about to say I thought I remembered the announcers being extremely biased towards pitt in that game. It was like they didnt even try to hide it

I liked this part of the article about Navy QB, Keenan Reynolds (#2 on the list - if he didn't beat Myles I would have been seriously POed):

First off, you have to be incredibly mentally tough to play football -- or any sport, really -- at a service academy. Think about the mental discipline required to balance the classwork (no one is coasting through the academies in "hmmm, I think I will take this because it won't take much time" classes), the drills associated with being in the military and all the practices. And in Reynolds' case, he plays football at a high level (103.5 rushing yards per game and 31 rushing TDs last season; he is one of just four players in NCAA history with 30-plus rushing TDs in a season). In addition, as a quarterback in Navy's triple-option offense, he gets hit on, oh, about 99 percent of the Midshipmen's running plays, whether he keeps the ball or not. And at his size, the hits add up. Yet he keeps going and going.

My stepson was on the USAFA Falcons football team while he was there and he had to work his butt off! The academics required are of the highest level of any college, same pressures as other D-1 colleges to make the squad, and the continuous in your face military discipline and training. All. At. The. Same. Time.

I'm so glad guys like this help keep us all safe! Heavy respect for all service academy athletes during and after they complete school and go to serve our country. The toughest of the tough!
