Congratulations to Bubba. I played against him and he was a man amongst boys. Was quick, fast, and strong. Could chase you down to run over you and then go 50 for the touchdown! :)

Yes sir you hit the nail on the head...my dad went to school with him and has nothing but great things to say about him.
