Personally I like this stat...
Philadelphia Eagles record vs. Dallas Cowboys during Papale's career --
0-6

It is not fair to compare them... Papale's success was making the team and contributing at a professional level in spite of being an undrafted walk-on.
shareYeah, but let's be honest. What the hell college did Jerry Rice come from? Directional Mississippi Delta State A&M and Dental School? This really isn't that significant in my opinion. Look at Kurt Warner. That damn guy bagged groceries and then won a Super Bowl and an MVP.
shareWayne Chrebet walk-on from Hofstra finished 2nd all time in New York Jet history in receptions.
shareYeah, but the poor guy was STILL a Jet.
shareWillie Parker wasn't drafted; he hardly even played in college.
But he damn sure set a Super Bowl record with his 75 yard run.
Of course I'm sure Seahawks fans will claim a ref helped block for him on that play...
Tom Brady was a 6th round pick. Three Super Bowl rings later...
Doesn't matter where you're drafted or if you're drafted. It just matters what you do when you're on the field. Make a play!
I tried to be clever here, it just didn't pan out.
Yeah, it doesn't really matter WHEN you're drafted, more-or-less the team you're going to play on. Good luck Reggie Bush....but i sure would take him over a DE from Maryland (Mario Williams) any day!

shareThis preseason, the way the Eagles were looking at receiver...I almost thought they would have open tryouts again, maybe open the door for another Vince Papale! But they picked up Donte Stallworth, that'll fill the T.O. void! Wink wink, nudge nudge... Seriously though, Eagles fans, hope your boys return to dominance.

papale averaged more per catch then jerry rice

But anytime you're looking at averages as a comparision there is always a minimal number of catches, rushes, pass attempts or whatever for that category and it's to weed out things like this. A backup running back that gets in the game late and takes off for a 50 yard TD shouldn't be compared to a back that ran the ball 30 times for 160 yards. Give that backup 29 more carries and see if maintains a 50 yard average.

and your still a prick
shareTrust me. ANY college football is significant in your development as a player. The position coaching you get is generally so far above the level you get in HS that it doesn't even seem like the same game.
Going from HS to pro football in one training camp is kind of like teaching yourself to speak a new langauge fluently in about six weeks.
HS to pro football = Death LOL!
It's so different than basketball and baseball it's not even funny.
Tell that to Antonio Gates
shareI think he meant it as in from highschool to pro. Antonio Gates went from college basketball to pro football. That's a little different.
Anyway in the movie, Vince Papale went from 1 year in highschool to pro about 12 years later.
When you're 30 in the NFL, you're getting old. When you're 30+ in the NFL, you're old.
