John Parker Wilson's future plans

Anyone know if he's going to try to go pro? If so, where will he end up in the draft?

Re: John Parker Wilson's future plans

I would not think JPW's future is in playing NFL football. He might make a great practice squad qb, to mimic for the team what they could expect to see the next week. He's tough as nails and very experienced at learning new offenses, but I don't see an NFL team taking him on. What goes on in Europe or Canada I don't follow, but I don't think he has the kind of game needed for the AFL, either.

Re: John Parker Wilson's future plans

I think he might go in the 6th or 7th round. This years SR QB class is pretty weak and he did not make many mistakes thought the year. If you look past Daniel and Harrell you don't find much. There are only a couple of teams I think he could make as a 3rd string but I see him getting cut early.

Re: John Parker Wilson's future plans

If I were him and had the guts, I'd see about a GA position. There are a lot of Saban's former assistants that are making good money and lined up for top HC positions. They're going to make millions per year and probably won't end up crippled by pain and injuries before the age of 40.

I have wondered if he might try to get back in baseball.

Re: John Parker Wilson's future plans

I'm not sure of what John Parker's major is, but if he's smart, he could rack up being a sales rep in the state of Alabama. ANY type of rep. It doesn't even matter if he knows what he's talking about. Customers would buy from the company just for a chance to meet him. He has absolutely nothing to worry about as long as he stays in the SouthEast.

Re: John Parker Wilson's future plans

I think maybe in the CFL or as a GA but anyhow he has the education to do just about anything he sets his hat on. Big, strong, tough as nails , good head on his shoulders. I hope our next QB can accomplish what JPW has. I doubt anyone could have lead Bama to a 12-0 season but JPW.

Re: John Parker Wilson's future plans

Set up a rather expensive kissing booth...
There are a lot of young (and older) ladies that would line up down the street for JP. Just need to make sure my wife doesn't find out about it.

I've always said he'd make a good football coach. He's had a lot of experience in a lot of different situations and from different coaches. He's had to learn a lot that he can pass on to the next generation. Everything from X's and O's to mental toughness and how to prepare.

I think JPW will be just fine.

Big A Re: John Parker Wilson's future plans

In all seriousness, I think he should give Hollywood a try. The dude is very good looking, but still has an approachable quality about him. He could probably get a good role on a soap opera. He can always move back to the South as the beauty fades. Another option is in sportscasting, as in the next Kirk Herbstreit.
