Oh by the way, apparently he's a friend of Vonnie Holliday's:

Perhaps Vonnie was influential in getting him looked at.

Training Camp fodder.

Uh oh, this does not bode well for Charlie Anderson.

i'm sure conditioning won't be a problem considering he's used to playing and running gassers on a 55 yard field and indoors.

should be an easy transition. lol

I wonder if he'll bring a fountain of knowledge to the LB position?

But dont you have to play two ways in the AFL?

Plus if he DID just play defense he was probably on the field for the entire game anyway since each team scores like 60.

He will be gone by the end of the month.

[DefensiveEnd76]

Fountain is listed on the Utah Blazes roster as being 6'4" 270. So he is another big linebacker.
