Stopping by recently to visit with JJ, former NFL quarterback Jeff George, and T.O. Terrell Owens.

Let's just hope those two aren't part of the "new attitude" on campus :lol:

Did anyone but Dat Nguyen ever visit Bennett's camps?

This is great that we have current and former NFL players visiting our practices. The pub is great for recruiting.

Jeff George was one of the wasted talents in NFL history. He could have been a hall-of-famer.

Roy Williams and Terence Newman

OK, I get the connection for Jeff George - they hated each other for a while, but they were together for several years in Atlanta. What's Coach Jones' connection to T.O.?

Roy also came to a few practices. He has wrinkles on the back of his neck. Pretty cool

I can't remember exactly, but I think JJ ended up waiving George, then effectively lost his HC job with the Falcons over it. Somehow, George got his life or attitude together and they have become good friends.

Jeff George was a cancer on any team lockerroom he sat in. Great skills and tools, but did not have what it took to be the quarterback of an NFL team for whatever reason.

Wasn't Brett Farve a back up QB for the falcons when June was there, and then he was traded to Green Bay?

Sort of... in 1996, week 3, the Falcons were hosting the Eagles. This was the game, in the 3rd period, where George and June had the infamous argument... which really wasn't a big deal compared to how many others we've seen that were far worse.

But... in order to show there were no favourites on the team, JJ suspended George. Initially, for just a week... then it grew to two weeks, then the season. Falcons finished 3-13... George, a free agent at season's end, signed with Oakland and June was fired.

And George wasn't a cancer everywhere he went... he did some good things with Atlanta, but in Minnesota, he took over for a struggling Randall Cunningham when the Vikes were 2-4, and led them to an 8-2 mark and a playoff win over Dallas, before losing to the Rams 37-49... a game that saw George throw 4 TD's and over 400 yards. George finished 2nd to Kurt Warner that year in passer rating.

Favre was with ATL for the 1991 season, June Jones' first as Asst. Head Coach (under Jerry Glanville)
