Freestyle skier. Model. NFL player? If Jeremy Bloom gets his way, all will be true by the end of February. On the 15th, Bloom hopes to win a medal in freestyle skiing at the Turin Olympics. ON February 22nd, he will be trying to dazzle NFL coaches and convince them that he has the right stuff to make it in the pros.
It’s not as though Bloom never played ball. He played for the University of Colorado, until the NCAA declared him ineligible for taking endorsements as a skier. Bloom went to court over the issue but, ultimately, lost the court case and the opportunity to play college football.
Does he have the right stuff to make an NFL team? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we hope that he fulfills his Olympic dreams in Turin.
