Dad’s Take on Walter Nolen

*adjusts reading glasses and squints at card* Oh great, another "unicorn" – kid's out here doing light jogging drills in practice gear looking like he's afraid to break a sweat! You call yourself a unicorn but you're posing like you're in a yoga class, not preparing to demolish offensive linemen. Back in my day, defensive tackles didn't need fancy nicknames – they just needed to look like they could eat a quarterback for lunch, not like they're about to ask the coach for a participation trophy!

About Walter Nolen

Nolen knows how special of a talent he is up front and doesn't need much other than a few instructions to make something happen. "I'd just say I'm a unicorn to sum it up," he said. "I can do whatever for you in any given situation, as long as I get the right coaching. I can take it from there."
