BwareDWare94 723 Posted December 26, 2011 A sad farewell it will be to the epitome of a football player. Tough. Quiet. Doesn't talk shit to the media and never has. He's been a key part of this team for years, due to all the things he can do. He can play tight end, full back, and can cover on ST. Gonna miss you, Jimmy. Forever a Viking, forever a Fighting Sioux.

OSUViking 505 Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) No!!!! EDIT: This could be more devastating than AP's injury, since AP will probably come back. Edited December 27, 2011 by Vikingfan465 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted December 27, 2011 Always been very underrated because he is a better blocker than he is a receiver, but he thrived outside of the spotlight. Very classy guy, and even though he is a rival of ours... I have the utmost respect for the guy. Good luck in your future endeavors Jim! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
