Re: Holliday in the NFL Its possible but very unlikely. If you look back in history you see players the size of Trindon that were real good in college but never came close to making it in the NFL. The only exception to that rule was Lionel James but even he had a short lived career. I would say the odds are pretty stacked against him.
Re: Holliday in the NFL Until then I'll enjoy him while he is here. Sure is fun to watch. My brother knows his mom and she said he simply loves football and thats the reason he hasn't gone the pro track route.
Re: Holliday in the NFL only chance is as a returner and maybe 4th wr. david palmer was 5'8" 174 (listed)
Darren Sproles is only, what, 5'7"? He's returning kicks in the league. Not sure what else, though. But he probably weighs a good bit more than Trindon.
5'6", weighs twenty pounds more than Holliday and was an everydown back in college. And likely didn't have great professional track opportunities coming out of school.
A nice article on Trindon in the Austin paper: http://www.statesman.com/sports/content/sports/stories/other/10/05/1005lsu.html
By the way, here's a list of notable football player/sprinters that I've been working on along with their best official FAT times in the 100 meters and the year in which the ran it: Bob Hayes 10.06 1964 Raghib “Rocket” Ismail 10.34 1991 Johnny “Lam” Jones 10.14 1977 Herschel Walker 10.23 1982 Willie Gault 10.10 1982 Deion Sanders 10.26 1988 Bo Jackson 10.44 1983 Renaldo Nehemiah 10.18w 1978 Nehemiah's time was winded-aided.
