Accra is about the size of Baltimore. Maybe they should ask him about the urban jungle there.

That's what I was thinking. I taught many people from Ghana on my mission and they weren't backwoods Africans that lived in villages and hunted antelope alongside lions. Granted it makes a compelling narrative, but have these reporters never watched Jungle Gold?!?Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostAccra is about the size of Baltimore.

I don't like the way the Lions are run, but that could be a really good DLine for him. Might be a great situation.Originally posted by The_Douger View PostMy home teacher is a Lions fan, which is weird because he grew up in Utah. You don't see that very often.
I kind of hope Ziggy gets drafted elsewhere.

Yeah, that's a consideration as well. Between Suh and that kid from Auburn they've got some guys that warrant a lot of attention.Originally posted by wapiti View PostI don't like the way the Lions are run, but that could be a really good DLine for him.

10 future pro bowlers in this years Draft,
http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/0ap10...writers_brandtEzekiel "Ziggy" Ansah, DE, BYU
Ansah was part of a group of defensive ends picked out to practice linebacker techniques at the NFL Scouting Combine, and it was just unbelievable how well he mastered dropping into space and reacting to the ball. This versatility just boosts his long-term potential. He'll do equally well whether he's working as an outside linebacker for a 3-4 defense or as a defensive end in a 4-3. The Ghana native's story is already amazing, given how little football experience he has; multiple Pro Bowl appearances will simply make it more so.

In a previous life I ran sprints. Just about every sprint workout included working on starts. Getting out of the blocks is crucial in a 100M race so it would be downright essential when running a 40. I didn't run the 100M (I ran the 200M and 400M) so I'm sure he practiced starts like a mad man when on the track team.Originally posted by Eddie View PostI would be very surprised if a track athlete who runs sprints has NEVER BEFORE ran a 40 or practiced starts without running a full 100 or 200. Though he may have felt he didn't need to practice those starts as much as someone who really never had done it before."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

What an amazing story. The third picture down, I noticed the amazing length of his legs and arms. The fellow was born to tackle quarterbacks.Originally posted by Surfah View Post
