Kenny O'Neal

I had heard he was working at the Under Armor outlet up in Pigeon Forge. I happened to be up there last night and he in fact does work there. He was off at the time I was there last night but asked an employee and they confirmed he did work there. I just read somewhere else today he was picked up by Cleveland today. Im sure as a practice player though. I just thought I would share this.

Me too. Crazy talent. Not sure if it was lack of heart or between his ears but it drives fans and coaches alike crazy when the obvious physical skills don't translate into quality play.

I'd put Ahmad Paige in there too but I think he had some kind of personal tragedy with a girlfriend or something that might have made things a little tougher in his case. Still a case of wasted talent.

I believe Kenny had a problem with the blocking schemes. At least that's what Fulmer said.

You know, this would be a perfect set up to say something like "Kenny works at Under Armor? He probably gets confused about where to put the merchandise. He can get it to the wrong place fast, but then drops it".

But that would be low and I wouldn't do that. I'm sure Kenny is a fine person and just didn't work out.

I thought Kenny could have been a really good player for us but i think he just had a lack of heart. i can remember one play, i forgot who it was against maybe bama, the play was a reverse and kenny fumbled and after he fumbled he didnt make any effort to get the ball back he just stood straight up and watched five opposing players jump on it.. needless to say i wasnt a kenny o'neal fan anymore..

No. Fulmer said he had to watch the tape.
