Meet Kevin Kolb


Les Bowen pens a great column in today’s Daily News that captures new Birds QB Kevin Kolb’s background as a Texan. The column is a must read.

On hunting wild hogs:

“The dogs corral ‘em pretty good. When you know it’s your turn, when you get a slot, you go in and you grab [the hog] by the back legs first. Depending on how big it is, you flip it over, jump on it, and stab it in the heart,” he says. “They have big tusks; they can hurt you, and the dogs are flyin’ in there. It can get nasty. If it’s too big of a pig, or something’s going wrong, you might have to pull out a gun, but we try not to do that.”

Kolb’s high school coach on his quarterbacking abilities:

He’s the dangedest quarterback I’ve ever been around.

Kolb’s high school coach comments on his potential:

“I don’t think y’all got the No. 3 quarterback,” Copeland says. “JaMarcus Russell is a freak of nature, but Kevin – you can mark my words – 10 years from now, he’ll be so much better thought of than Brady Quinn.”

Don't mess with Texas
