I had no idea if this would work. I don't think we ran this against the 1 defense in practice. It worked better than we could have imagined. Michigan had no idea where the ball was

QBU....not even in your own state are you QBU
At QBU, you don’t just choose the Huskies, you carry something forward.
@BrockHuard entered UW as one of the most recruited QBs in the country. Left with the school records in passing yards (5,742), TD passes (51), and consecutive attempts without a pick (151). Two-time Academic All-American. Davey O’Brien finalist. 3rd Round NFL Draft pick (Seahawks).
A Husky through and through, and part of the foundation of QBU. Bow Down. 🐺🙌

Just now watching Project Hail Mary. About 40 minutes in. Haven’t seen a forward pass yet.

The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.
A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.
Wow: NFL waterboys earn over 3 THOUSAND dollars per game, which averages out to more than $50K per season, not including tips.
Waterboys also attend practices, handle locker room prep, and travel with the team.
What a fantastic job to have 💸📈
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Per a former Eagle employee, this is an athletic trainer.

People out there really think it was the “failed physical” that kept the trade from going thru
That the Ravens saw things that caught them off guard
But THANK GOD they managed to scramble in a matter of hours to sign Trey Hendrickson & keep their 1st round picks
Man were they lucky
I wonder their reaction when they got the results that Maxx failed (since it wasn’t planned)??
PURE PANIC I’m sure
