Antonio Calloway: Arrested and cut yet again

[Alumni Guy]

I wish this kid nothing but the best... he has made mistakes, but I hope he gets things going in the right direction. He has all the talent to be a great NFL WR

What's most frustrating is that if you or I had credit card fraud arrest and multiple marijuana arrests, it would take decades (if ever) for us to get back on track.

All he has to do is stay out of trouble until the season starts. If he can stay clean for his rookie contract, he will make generational wealth.

Frustrating

If his brains were gunpowder, he couldn't blow his nose without a blasting cap. He'll be drafted late and wash out of the league quickly.

Olmstead never was able to overcome the intense pressure of playing under Spurrier. Kid had a cannon but just couldn't handle the moment. Came from a small private school in Va and I think he was coddled a bit.

However, he didn't let that stop him from being successful.

“I’m not this bad person that the media portrays,” Callaway said. “I mean, I can’t stress it enough. I just gotta . . . actions. Let my actions speak for me.”

Uh, Antonio, we ARE judging you on your actions. What does he think he's being judged on, his looks?

The irony in this post.

The guy’s one of the biggest busts we’ve ever recruited as well as one of the dumbest. I don’t give a flip who he blames for his transgressions nor do I wish him success. A lot of other people and/or players are in line ahead of this piece of schite.

He was a 3 star unheralded recruit. You could argue he overproduced. He was dumb and single handidly derailed the 2017 before it started but I wouldn’t call him one of the biggest busts. He did beat UT

You’d probably get a half eaten burger because of his pot-induced munchies.

Or a special type of brownie for dessert.

For sure had Callaway not been caught, his "new-found" not so bad conscience would have turned himself in.

Ain't he a puppet with a few strings cut
Just enough freedom to tangle hisself up.

Just signed on the Miami Dolphins practice squad.
A second second chance I suppose.

I hope he balls out.

His slide continues, from the NFL, to the XFL, and now the Phins.

I hear the Jags are going to claim him Slide continues.

Make the team. Make some money. Pay your taxes. Don't have a million kids. Don't be a dooshbag.

He was given a scholarship to a great university because of his athletic ability. After rising to early fame, he blew that opportunity by having in-house suspensions, being accused of sexual misconduct and ring-leading a credit card fraud scheme(all in roughly 2 years). Despite all this, he was granted a new life with the NFL draft until he blew a prearranged drug test, causing his stock to drop. Once drafted and signed, he went almost 4 months before his next legal encounter involving drugs and gun(parts). In less than two seasons as a professional he twice faced multi game suspensions before being cut from the league. He then was given a shot at a lesser league which ultimately folded, and is now being given a new lucrative contract to play in the NFL as a professional once again.

To be clear, I’ll be pulling for him. I just wish guys like him were given the same opportunities to be successful as the rest of us. Maybe one day.

You don't give him any credit for convincing Butters to retire on duty? Sure, Butters was begging Oregon St and Nebraska to hire him long before the 4 win season, but surely Callaway bears some of the honor.

Exposed how thoroughly and completely disfunctional the program STILL was after the Valium Creyer and Mushdump years sure is an achievement.

Yes he helped beat UT, but not has much as UT schitty defense. Up by multiple scores goes prevent, but then on fourth down worries about short stuff instead of putting the DBs on the line, saying just don't be past year. Very talented. But lets not pretend that UT was suffering from battered wife syndrome at the time. Like UK until Mullens came along UT looked for ways to lose at the end of games especially against the Muschump.

Callaway was not a three star. He was a five star knucklehead and a four star recruit (though a low 4 four star to be sure).

The “spy” on a completely gassed Grier in 4th and 14, instead of any type of pressure was just the ultimate check mate by Jones.

As was the offensive clinic he put on during their prior possession. A mind like this can’t be taught. You’re either born with it or you’re not.

The amount of stupid that Tennessee did in that fourth quarter is amazing. Similar to the amount of stupid UK did in 2017 to allow us to win that game in Kentucky. Let's leave the primary receiver without a defensive play within 10 yards while lined up at the goal line. I mean that kind of stupid only comes from Injun or the men that believe URG's grinder profile.

 

[Theologator]

No matter how bad things get, we can always look down at Ut.

Callaway should only ever be signed for the minimum with incentives tied to performance on the field and behavior off it. He does have elite quicks and speed, but his head should have pushed him waaay further down the draft. It’s not like he was ever going to be Julio or Mike Evans.
