Jason heyward, right fielder, atlanta braves

the panthers shocked the football world friday by using their first draft pick on braves right field rookie phenomenon jason alias heyward. The 20 year old native of henry county, georgia, entered friday with a .304 batting average, 6 home runs, and 22 rbis, fresh off an amazing 4 rbi performance against roy halladay.

"he's a guy, we uh, think can uh, come in and contribute, right away," said coach john fox. "we took a look at the tape, and uh, the kid is gifted, really gifted. Couldn't pass on him."

"what position is he going to play? Well, we'll wait for him to get to camp," marty hurney responded. When asked if he'll play wide receiver, hurney responded, "yeah, probably."

it was a stunning selection for a team with serious needs at wr and dt, even more so with The Golden Calf of Bristol still on the board. When interviewed, The Golden Calf of Bristol quickly sent away all the altar boys that were around him and said, "he's a great player. Great guy. Great hitter. Hope i don't have to face him." tim then went on to play with his collection of child sized shoes.

Heyward isn't the first atlanta brave to play in the nfl. Deion sanders was the most famous to do it, playing a mediocre left field for atlanta while being trucked by anyone he cared to tackle. However, heyward is a more physical presence.

At 6'5 and 250 pounds of pure glistening muscle, heyward is still growing into his body. One scout said of his frame "kid is swole as f***." another said he will be "built like a brick sh*t house in a couple of years."

fox and hurney were both non committal about when their second round pick would show up to training camp. "i mean, he's playing baseball, right? When does that get over with?" fox asked.

"he has plus speed in baseball terms, so i guess that comes out to like a 4.7 forty time. That's not exactly the ideal time we'd want to put across steve smith, but at 6'5 250, who cares?"

there might be some overlap between the start of the regular season, with heyward needing to play well into october for the atlanta braves. Heyward didn't seem too concerned. On baseball tonight, after doubling in three runs, he simply shrugged and said "yeah, i can do that. No thang."

when asked how he never got around to playing football, having grown up in georgia, heyward shrugged and said "i wanted a challenge when i got in the nfl. You know, just a hobby."

phillies fans were seen committing mass suicide outside of the draft building, knowing eventually they'd have to lose to this kid, much like they found out on tuesday and wednesday.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
