Great article about Chris Ivory in Yahoo, but oh the irony (1 Viewer)

This stuck out in my mind:

"Every step comes violent and hungry as if stopping means he will lose everything that’s happened almost as fast as it came."

Very descriptive writing about an interesting young man.

Look who is in the picture. The article explains how Chris may have been confused with another person in the fight charges, and look, Usama is in the main page instead of him...

But the article is worthy, very worthy...

The article is not good; it's not great...

...it's PHENOMENAL! Great find, Guillermo!





PS: It's going in my archives tonight!

Man, what a story...He's got to get some NFL conditionining in the offseason for all those nagging injuries....WashState is a terrible program for not taking care of their own.
And by the way our midwest scout is a wise man.

I have a newfound appreciation for this kid!

Love stories like this! Ivory belongs with the Saints - that's the way this team rolls and we now know it is the way Chris rolls .... all out, but with humility!

Wow, great read G. Thanks for putting it up. What a story. You can't make this stuff up. Should be a movie.

...Jones wrote a strong report, suggesting Ivory could be an NFL player. The report moved through the executive offices of the Saints until eventually it was read by general manager Mickey Loomis. Sitting at his desk late last week, Loomis called it up on his computer and smiled.

“That’s where our scouts make their money,” he says....

If you see this guy around town, buy him a beer!

Only thing I'd like to see is a good offseason of work and learning to take care of his body, and also some time spent learning when to take/give the hit and when to just go down to save wear and tear.

Great article and story. Another great character player that will give his all.
Saints are filled with players like this. Ivory, Graham and Hargrove. I love this team.
