You quit acting like a kid and drinking

and you become a starter on the OL after being undrafted.


I give you Alex Boone with the 49ers.

Also on the offensive line is Alex Boone - he's looking to start. He wants to, and if he plays as well at right tackle against the Raiders as he did at left tackle against the Saints, then Anthony Davis had better be on notice, draft position last season be damned. The 49ers plan to move the entire line around and make sure everybody can play the opposite side, with an emphasis on Boone.


After going undrafted a couple years ago sounds like Boone has a real shot to start for SF and even if he doesn't this year he is in position to be the main back-up. Boone a year or so ago said he gave up drinking and change his life style. Sounds like he might max out his potential finally which is a great thing.



but I have a hunch that Deadspin readers may be more interested in this statistic about Ohio State tackle Alex Boone: He used to drink 30 to 40 beers a day.

I remember reading an article about how the OSU coaches had turned his life around-- how he'd go out in HS and pound 40 beers but that he'd stopped drinking when he got to Columbus.

He should switch to liquor....it takes a lot of beer to get a 300lb man drunk.
