Today, my mom finally said about me, "I should have let him play football" (I'd been asking to ever since I was 10 or so, but my mom never let me). What caused her to say this? | ||

It would be, but see below for some help I don't know any football players ): It's OK, the Internet is your friend in this puzzle. The football player/s whose jerseys you have (and whose names are escaping me) as per your other puzzle with the jerseys in it? Randy Moss, Wes Welker, and Aaron Hernandez are all irrelevant; however, you have the right team - the Patriots. | ||

I've just gone over to Wiki, and oh my God, I did not know that many people could belong to any one football team at one time...O.O Narrowing things down then: Is the player in question one of the: Quarterbacks? Running backs? Wide receivers? Tight ends? Offensive linemen? Defensive linemen? Linebackers? Defensive backs? Special team? Reserve list? Practice squad? according to this? | ||

I've just gone over to Wiki, and oh my God, I did not know that many people could belong to any one football team at one time...O.O A maximum of 53 on the active roster each week. Football and baseball are my two favorite sports, by the way. Narrowing things down then: Is the player in question one of the: Quarterbacks? Running backs? This, and to save you from listing them, it's Danny Woodhead. Wide receivers? Tight ends? Offensive linemen? Defensive linemen? Linebackers? Defensive backs? Special team? Reserve list? Practice squad? according to this? | ||

hm, den kaylee kitteh nawt sur of relavant. Hintz plz? OK, but I have to RECAP in hoomin langwich: Two days ago, my mom told me that she wished she had let me play football when I was younger. The reason behind this statement is related to something that a teacher (at the school she works at) told her involving football player Danny Woodhead. Woodhead's height is relevant, and so is mine - I am a few inches shorter than he is. HINT: What is the average height of a football player? | ||

I suspect most people would think it would be taller, and I would think it should actually be shorter, since smaller folks are nimbler and quicker. (One of my few favorite sports stories is about a Scottish regiment's football team - all the members were tiny survivors of the Depression.} | ||

Taller? This - most football players are 6 feet or taller. Shorter? I suspect most people would think it would be taller, and I would think it should actually be shorter, since smaller folks are nimbler and quicker.

So...your mom used to tell you that you shouldn't play football because you were too short? Did Danny have critics that said he was too small for the NFL - yet he didn't let that stop him? Is there something relevant about "how" he got on the NY Jets team (since he wasn't drafted)? | ||

So...your mom used to tell you that you shouldn't play football because you were too short? Yes, plus she was afraid I'd get hurt Did Danny have critics that said he was too small for the NFL - yet he didn't let that stop him? Yes, and then some Is there something relevant about "how" he got on the NY Jets team (since he wasn't drafted)? Not really, but we have enough: **********SPOILER********** For most of my childhood, I wanted to play football, but my mother never let me. However, a few days ago, a teacher she works with told her that she'd gone to school with Danny Woodhead, now a running back for the New England Patriots. In high school, Woodhead was the player of the year in the state of Nebraska; however, because of his size, he received only one scholarship offer - from Division II Chadron State. The University of Nebraska, where Woodhead had always wanted to play, did not display any interest in him. So in college, Woodhead broke the NCAA rushing record (since broken again), but still went undrafted. However, this setback was soon overcome, as Woodhead was soon signed by the New York Jets, and has now found a niche with the Patriots. After hearing this story, my mother decided that she should have let me, who is also short, play football. Nice work everyone - Kaylee, Doriana, Jenburdoo for the drive; and Kaygee for the TD. And feel free to check this out for a good laugh. | ||
