In Trooper's day our receivers got those 50/50 balls a lot, but he had them practice rebounding with the BB team. Those BB lads know a thing or two about rebounding.


Bill Parcels used to beg Charles Barkley to come try out with the New York Giants to play TE, way before it was cool to convert basketball PFs into football TEs

One thing I remember about those receivers is that they didn't wait for a 50/50 ball to come to them they lunged for it like they were rebounding a basketball.

Watching some of Thornes MSU games, he threw a lot of 50/50 balls that his receivers caught.
