RamseyForPres. wanted to share a story about Chris Coooooooooley......
Since he is getting all of this national attention after his amazing game i wanted to shed some insight with some of hte HR community about how great a person he really is.
Last year i went to Fed-Ex field for the Draft day party. As anyone who went there knows, they had a good set up where you could walk on the field, attempt a field goal and play this other game where you try to throw a football through a hole. (to put it crudely)
A friend of mine and I were out on the field after Rogers pick and before Campbells throwing a frisbee back and forth and this guy with his hat pulled down was just walking around next to me and he walked over to the football passing game. I look to my friend and was like "hey.....*points*...is that....you know.." and he was like "i think so"...
well basically Chris Cooley was walking around with the fans and no one really noticed who it was. Well i did so i walked over and was chatting with him for awhile. He is a really cool guy, i told him we wanted to see him try some of the games, but he was just laughing it off saying he didn't want to cut in front of anyone in line. We talked for about 10-15 minutes until a few other people noticed who he was and he started getting attention. He then walked back into the the locker room and outta there.
As i watch the videos on redskins.com and everywhere else about him off the field, paired with my interaction with him. i just wanted to say that he is a real down to earth person and clearly is not completely just caught in the hype of superstardom. Chris Cooley was absolutely the right choice in the draft adn we are all now seeing the dividends. He and Sean Taylor have already made last years draft one of the best in the league.
