Golfers as Football Players? Revisiting the 2014 NLU All-Pigskin Team | NLU Pod, Ep 895



Ten and a half years ago, Neil posted a pair of articles on the NLU website naming a PGA Tour All-Pigskin Team, placing current PGA Tour golfers on a fictitious football team.

  1. No long snapper? Fred funk retired – maybe you put Taylor Gooch there so you don’t have to hear him whine about not being on the team

  2. I don't know why but I love a guy like Alejandro Tosti as my fullback. A small frame but an absolute bulldog and loves laying a block down. I can see him wearing that old school neck roll padding too while he leads the way for the RB.

  3. Obi-Tron Kenobi with a pile trash picks 🙃 He's hoping to bring out some latent "force" in these guys.

  4. I'll give it a go:

    QB Scottie

    RB Jake Knapp

    FB Kurt Kitayama

    WR1 Tony Finau

    WR2 Cam Champ

    WR3 Horschel

    TE Bryson

    OL Jon Rahm

    OL Ryan Fox

    OL Sunjae Im

    OL Harry Higgs

    DE1 Wyndham Clark

    DE2 Brooks Koepka

    DL Patrick Fishburn

    DL Sepp Straka

    DL Luke List

    LB Ludvig Aberg

    LB Keegan

    CB1 Michael Thorbjornsen

    CB2 Victor Hovland

    SS Sam Burns

    FS Zander

    K Denny McCarthy

    P Adam Scott

    RT Rory

  5. Cat is the DC. You give him a lead, he’ll keep it safe. He’s gonna out scheme whatever offense he’s up against. He knows when to dial up a blitz or when to drop back and keep the ball in front. His corners are gonna be pressing and winning the 1on1 matchups. He’s wily now so he’ll have some clever disguises for coverages.

  6. I think you guys gotta go outside the box with some 4-2-5 or 3-3-5 with the amount of hybrid guys you have. There’s some guys you can put in coverage or send on a blitz, and your front seven seems to be pretty versatile

  7. Soly or TC calling some pick “ridiculous!” in the middle of an absolutely ridiculous exercise. 😂

    KVV and Neil absolutely crushing this assignment

  8. James Hart Du Preez and Ernie are beef upfront 🥃… Clanton at corner

  9. Do you guys really think anyone on that defense could tackle Ryan Fox if he had the ball. Should 100% be the featured back.
