Grant was a solid MAC player, but I would say his chances of being drafted are slim to none, with the good money going towards none. Good luck to him in whatever he ends of doing now that his college days are done.

^^^^Haha, joke? ^^^^I don't know if he's up to par, but there is always the CFL. I don't know if any Akron alumni ever became Grey cup winners.

Whether it was started by his girlfriend or not means little. Wish should all wish him luck. I sat next to him in my Business Policy class and graduated with him. He's a great guy and I wish him luck. Nothing wrong with hoping the big league takes one of our Zips.

http://www.dynastyreps.com/grant/This might be one of the most egotistical things I've ever seen from a player of such limited ability. I don't know who's filling this kid's head with crap, but he (or more likely his parents) are really getting taken for a ride by this "Dynasty training" thing down in South Florida. If you're good enough you're good enough, if you're not, you're not. Mr. Grant seems to be wasting his time, spending God knows how much money, down in South Florida when he should just be up in Akron training with the strength staff and looking for a real job to fall back on just in cast his .0001 % chance of making the NFL doesn't work out. I feel bad for him after seeing that.

I really don't disagree with any of this with the exception of feeling sorry for him. I try to save my pity for cancer victims, special needs children, people with severe birth defects, etc.I can't help but think though that if Grant lands in the right place, at the right time and makes the right plays in pre-season games, he could play in the NFL. Timing is everything. Cases in point:1. Chase Blackburn landed on the right team at the right time after being cut by the Brown. 2. Dom Hix landed on the right team at the right time after being an afterthought in Denver.3. Robert Lyons landed on the right team at the right time. 4. Hell, we could even say that Frye landed at the right team at the right time when Cleveland drafted him. Only the Browns were stupid enough to waste a relatively high pick on and then start a career back-up.5. Nate Washington and Hines Ward of the Steelers landed on the right team at the right time (Bill Cowher was a sucker for players of limited talent and doing something with them....although I think Washington stinks).There are a hundreds of players who could take up the last two or three roster spots on an NFL team. I don't think much of Grant's ability, but maybe under the right conditions, he makes a team. Surprises happen every day......especially if you are making the league minimum and the team is in a money pinch. The closest thing the Zips have ever had to a "sure thing" in the NFL were Jason Taylor and Vic Green, and their NFL careers proved it. Probably third was Dwight Smith and his star faded somewhat quickly after having a great Super Bowl.
