I can’t wait for the NFL draft - not because I care about football, but because I want to see how high Joe Thomas goes. Did I mention he got a post-graduate scholarship? Did I also mention that he chose not to be in NYC for the draft festivities, because he would rather spend the weekend fishing with his dad? Nobody who knows Joe is surprised. And nobody who knows my brother-in-law is, either. Peas in a pod, both of them - genuninely good people, who succeed at everything they do, and chose to do good things.

Sorry if I’m being a bit dense here, but are you saying that Thomas is your brother-in-law? ---

Nephew, as I recall. The brother-in-law is the father. ---

[The husband of the mother of this thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=340301&highlight=footie+star) I’m sure the OP doesn’t mind. 🙂 ---

Well then congrats out to you and the family, **Shodan**. Looks like you’ve got a helluva player there. Now if only there were some way for him to fall to the 20th pick, then I could _really_ root for him. 🙂 ---

Bite your tongue - he is going no lower than #5, if Arizona picks him. And thanks, **Spectre**. I heard, so far today, from my brother-in-law, sister, eight friends, and four colleagues, all sending me the same link. So far. This is so cool. This is _so_ cool. Regards, Shodan
