Also, if anyone figures out how to us CP the right way/maximize his skills he should make it too
You're kidding right? HOF in returning? He can't run a route and also is intimidated to catch ball with anyone around. Maybe you should be his mentor Busts at UT

I sure hope he does.. that's a lot to come back from though.
It is but we've seen him on visits throughout this ordeal and he just keeps getting better. His Hodgkin's Lymphoma is treatable and in some cases curable. And you gotta understand Inky Johnson to understand Eric. When he got drafted he took the number 29 in Inky's honor. Inky got partially paralyzed on a freak play, nearly died, and has since become a total inspiration to everyone who has ever met him. While he was rehabbing and completing his degree at UT, he and Eric became best friends and Eric plays in his honor because Inky taught him that being talented wasn't enough - Eric became a hard worker/relentless because of him.
And before all that Inky overcame the slimmest of odds just to get to UT. Schools just didn't recruit his HS (it was dangerous, had a bad rep for crime, drugs, violence and bad behavior, and an enormously high dropout rate) and Inky was undersized with a low star rating to boot. He's an amazing man and kudos to Fulmer for taking the chance and offering him.
At one point, UT told Inky that while he was welcome to stay it was fine if he wanted to go home for a while and be with loved ones and that we'd still be here when he returned. Inky responded that this was his family and his home and that he was finishing his degree no matter what.
Eric never played with Inky but Inky influenced the young 5* tons.

I'm just saying, Preston Williams got his knee blown out. It just happened to happen after people were chirping about his interest in high end fashion. Now the kids got a blown knee. Coincidence? You tell me.

Glad to hear he's doing better. He's one of my favorites
Thanks
It's hard not to like Eric. Great player and even better man. He's just one of those guys you want to succeed regardless of who you cheer for.

And here's our daily VOLOL grasping at straws thread. The more 6- win seasons they have, the more they boast the silliest shite!

Hey, Sherff just got drafted by the skins, remember when our FRESHMAN Defensive End dominated him?

Yep, no highlights vs Barnett and Tennessee. I wonder why?
