Ya, he's going to be pushing Pierre Lueders' bobsleigh at the Canadian National Bobsleigh Championships.

Odd, but I imagine he'd be not to bad, he is a powerful running back.

Pierre: "Alright Jesse, let's DO THIS!"

big, quick, powerful guy. makes sense i guess.

Well I guess if they make it to the Olympics it will answer one of my questions about him because their doping testing is a "little" more strict than the CFL I would imagine.

If I remember correctly I think other teams have tried this with NFL guys (I think it was with Hersal Walker).

Two comments.

1. Considering his injuries over the last few years perhaps he should focus on his real job.

2. It will be only a matter of time before somebody tells you to put this kind of post into the CFL thread. How dare you.

The vast majority of the Canadian Bobsled team are former football players, many of them are former Dinos and Colts. Football players, particularly running backs, are perfectly built for the sport. Explosive, powerful, and compact guys make for great pushers.

TSN is reporting if he continues like this he may go to the Olympics.
