Charlie Ward appreciation post Vol. The Football QB, the baseball pitcher and the knicks pg

[pr0phecy718]

Ward won the 1993 Heisman Trophy and Davey O'Brien Award as a quarterback for Florida State University, and subsequently led the Seminoles to their first-ever National Championship when FSU defeated Nebraska 18-16 in the 1993 Orange Bowl. The Seminoles had suffered their only defeat of the season to a second-ranked Notre Dame team, but their path to the National Championship was cleared a week later when the Irish were upset at home by Boston College. Ward holds the second-largest margin of victory in the history of Heisman trophy balloting, with a 1,622 point difference, second only to O.J. Simpson's 1,750 point win in 1968.[sup][2][/sup] He was also the only Heisman winner to play in the NBA. In 1993, Charlie Ward won the James E. Sullivan Award from the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) as the most outstanding amateur athlete in the United States. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
Though Ward did not play baseball in college, he was drafted as a pitcher by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 1993 free agent draft and by the New York Yankees in 1994

i mean- wouldn't he have had a decent football career?

he'sappreciated as knicks point guard tho

...didn't know he was draftedby the Yankees

I would have liked to see him play football...but you know how scouts are!

If you not 6-2ft or taller its no way you can be a legit starting QB in the league according to most scouts

thats the only knock on short QB's and why you dont see to many go to the league

 

[addict4sneakers]

unappreciated for beating nebraska twice

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Cholly is pretty much that guy

 

[doublejs07]

Are we gonna get a Rusty Larue Appreciation thread? He actually played baseball in the ACC....

Charlie was the man....one of the BEST college QB's I had ever seen....I wonder what would have become of him had he played in the NFL???

 

[renegade34474]

[brandonb2005]

Anybody got a pic of him throwing a TD to Sam Cassell?

"I don't feel like playing in the MLB, I think I'll take a shot in the NFL Draft because I did just win a Heisman. Damn, I didn't get drafted,I guess I'll just play in the NBA."

That is what I would call an all around athlete.

I always thought he was around 6-0ft 6-1ft I know when they list height they always give players like 1-2inches

Like how Kobe used to be 6-7 and now he is listed at 6-6
