If he cracks the starting lineup at any point in his UConn career, the "Belgian Waffle" will take on a whole new life. Trademark this fast, so you get your royalties!

He looks like a great project. His body holds 290 extremely well. Put him on out weight program and with good coaching we have alot of upside here.

Thought I'd copy this from the Theo Tumba thread: ktuck911 found a Danish article on Knappe: http://www.razorbacks.dk/web3/web3_userFiles/File/VAF_12072012_side_20.pdf

Google translate: "Andreas Knappe is the first Dane for over 30 years with a realistic chance of reaching the NFL" ... he will play on Saturday in the finals of the Euro-great club tournament EFAF Cup. ... first Dane to enroll in American college swine football since Morten Andersen kicked the swine-skin at Michigan State 1978-1982 and played 25 years in NFL ... his 5-year scholarship to UConn has a value of "more than one million dollars" ... a career in college lasts 4 years, but most are enrolled 5 years, "too often smoking at least one season to injuries." ... "College football draws more fans than the NFL. That's because college teams have larger stadiums than the NFL." ... He measures 206 cm and 128 kg ... he's 21 years old ... "UConn falls to Michigan State among the strongest college teams in the United States" ... the University of Connecticut has an indoor track in full size, larger than a general football field, with a sophisticated climate plants ... Swine football may be played in 10 degrees frost one week and 30 degrees the next.

my god.. 206 cm and 128 kg, kid is a beast!

 

[huskymedic]

Swine Football.. Lmao!

 

[PolisHusky]

I hope Swine Football is not contagious. Oink...uh oh.

This just in: Uconn and Michigan State are at the forefront of combatting swine football. We are no longer doomed.

 

[huskypantz]

"too often smoking at least one season to injuries."

Sounds like another Cody Endres.

If we put him at DE, I'd love to hear the announcers calling another "Knappe Sack"

If we put him at OT, I'd rather not hear that.
