I know it's not football but I love watching Tim Hardaway Jr on the Knicks right now. He was also dope at Michigan.
Tony Gwynn Jr.? Barry Bonds? I know there are more from other sports I am thinking of but can't put my finger on it right now.

The guy only caught 20 passes for two college teams, I can't believe the Ravens gave him a tryout. Seems like arena league talent at best.

Not even arena league talent unfortunately. The dude is small and not very athletic and had 0 production in college. Couldn't even start. Basically, the only thing he has going for him is his name. I'd say I'm almost as talented as him and it wouldn't be an exaggeration. He can play in a flag football league somewhere. It would be cool to see Jerry Rice's son on the niners, but the dude just isn't very good

Would've been cool to sign Montana's son and Rice Jr but would've been huge distractions lol

He and my son are good friends played together at UCLA. Really nice kid. Mom and sister are great too.

The drive and determination required to become a great athlete typically (not always) require great struggles growing up.

Children of star athletes are typically well off and don't need insane dedication to their craft.

Same thing happens to new rich people as well. TThey spoil the kids rotten and kids have no work ethic etc. and become trust fund kids
