Round ‘bout there
|
Back in 1990 or '91, sometime around there, former UA lineman Joe King got out of prison and was back home in the Gadsden area. I went down to interview him over dinner at a Quincy's restaurant.
He already was there and when he stood up to shake my hand an introduce himself, I literally was shocked at his size. I'd only seen one other guy similar -- Steve Wilson, an offensive lineman at Auburn who played a couple of years and left -- but Joe was just different. Physically imposing, muscular, in good shape despite being in prison, and it was just shocking to me that a guy THAT big could be a mobile, fast, lineman and/or football player.
Today, he'd be just another big guy on the line most likely.
An aside, he was one of the best interviews I'd ever had. Honest about what had happened, said he wanted to turn things around, polite. He battled a bunch of demons and fell to the wayside again, which I hated to see happen.
