So I go to the office today and I see this guy in a Raider's t-shirt, toting a Raiders Jersey and I joke about Al Davis and mention how the Raiders are my team, Marcus Alan and all that.
I see the Jersey and realize I'm talking to the Alvis Whitthead. Yep. Played Peach Bowl with Terry Harvey etc. . .
Dude only about 5'10" but finished 7th in Olympic Trials. . .
Freaking amazing. I was stumbling over words.
Turns out our long time track Coach was at Orange High in 93, when Whitthead started running. . .
He said he's got a workout in Buffalo after the draft. He's not too positive on it as his years in the league aren't a healthy thing for a back up in the cap. . .
I love the small world I live in. . .
