Questions are arising around GM Tommy Hoang's choice of drafting fullback Maple Syrup out of Penn State University in the second round in the UFSL inaugural draft late Sunday night. The 6'3, 249 pound monster of a man was the only fullback to sign up for the UFSL. Coming out of Penn State he was a great red zone threat and allowed 2 different backs to rush for 100 yards 5 times his senior year. Tommy Hoang had this to say:
"We believe that Mr. Syrup can be a huge help in our run game, and we think we can turn him into a complete back at some point in his career, kind of like what Cleveland did with Peyton Hillis, without a shitty second year. I am very confident that our pick will work out for us in the long run and he will help bring St. Peters a trophy."
Maple Syrup is scheduled to post an interview later today.
Questions are also being asked of whether Maple Syrup was in anyway involved in the Sandusky scandal that rocked the Penn State nation this past college season. Syrup and his agent have avoided all questions related to the scandal, stating that they were too focused on draft day to worry about things like that.
