'Pittsburgh Steeler Max Starks is a Giant in Football, a Legend in Education Circles, and a Champion in the Celebrity Charity World,' Says Henry Lawrence, Future NFL Hall of Famer
"The former Florida Gator signing of a 6.9 million dollar one-year tender with the Steelers this year forced NFL teams to re-think the importance of Offensive Tackles are to mega quaterbacks like Ben Roethlisberger, Rex Grossman, Matt Ryan, Joey Harrison, Jay Cutler, Jon Kitna, Jake Delhomme, Matt Shuab,, Beck and Henne. For the first time in recent history, eight Offensive Tackles and one Guard was taken in the first round in the 2008 NFL Draft. Jake Long was the first pick of the draft and first Offensive Tackle taken in the draft. This was no surprise to Max, he trained with Jake Long in Arizona at Athletes Performance. And Max had this to say, 'Jason work ethic is exactly what it takes to be a great OT'." ( Taken from the (Sportsmavericks Show with Ida Muorie - "Offensive Tackle Is King of 2008 NFL Draft" -4/29/08 on www.voceamerica.com)
