Glen Coffee made a memorable first impression on 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis. On Oct. 15, 2005, Willis tried tackling Coffee in a game between Ole Miss and Alabama. "I remember thinking, 'This guy runs too hard to be a freshman'", Willis recalled Wednesday. The 49ers hope Coffee can make a similar introduction to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday when he makes his first NFL start at Candlestick Park. Source: San Jose Mercury News
That's a grotesque understatement. That dude can carry the 9er's offense. No slam on Gore, but Coffee is the real deal.
