Jonny Harline on ESPNEWS By Mitch Section: FootballPosted on Fri Apr 20, 2007 at 04:40:55 PM EDT Former Cougar TE Jonny Harline was on ESPNEWS' The Hot List. They asked him some questions about his potential Draft status. The guy from ESPNEWS kept pronouncing his name wrong though, which I'm sure Jonny is very used to. But when Harline was asked about what type of NFL TE's he is like, he compared himself to Antonio Gates and Todd Heap, simply because he was able to make many plays during his career at BYU like those guys do for their franchises. He was asked what round he felt he would go during Draft weekend, and he just said that he plans on watching it and having a good time. The interviewer asked Harline about John Beck, asking him where he felt Beck ranked amongst the "top" QB's in Brady Quinn, JaMarcus Russell, etc. Harline replied by saying he thinks he is just as good if not better. Harline even gave Beck props with his great arm strength. Harline also talked about the Las Vegas Bowl against Oregon how he was the MVP, and it was one of the few times that BYU was able to play in front of a nationally televised audience on ESPN. Then finally, they made reference to Harline's basketball past and they asked him to predict how the Jazz would do in the playoffs. Harline just said they need to have lock-down defense. My personal opinion about the Jazz series with the Rockets is the Rockets are going to win in 5. It was cool seeing Harline on ESPNEWS, I just happened to catch the program at the right time. Good stuff. |
