Kyyle23 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Rookie running back Maurice Clarett went unclaimed on waivers and he has put himself in a really bad position. Teams are very leery about taking on a player who showed up in Denver's training camp at a hefty 248 pounds and then demonstrated little work ethic. There has been very little interest in his services from any team in the league. The other day it was thought that Clarett would be able to find his way on to some team's practice squad. But now, it doesn't look so good. Maybe the Canadian Football League? Will this kid ever make something of himself? Will he ever become a shade of the record setting back that he was in his freshman year at Ohio State? He continues to amaze me with his high opinion of himself. Any thoughts? I know some people out there thought he was railroaded out of Ohio State and that he took the blame for alot of things that were out of his control.

UofIChiSox Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Just shows that you can have all the hype in the world, but you still have to work your ASS off to become a pro athlete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the hype that has kept him in the spotlight(for the most part) since he was kicked out of school. If he wasnt hyped then we never would have heard from him again. Unfortunately, we keep hearing about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsox08 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 all he had to do was finish his college career and he would have still been in shape and been drafted pretty well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
