The Kansas City Chiefs signed Arena Football League star wide receiver Bobby Sippio this week. Don’t know Sippio? Well, he’s a 6-foot-3, 214-pound gazelle who had 125 receptions and 53 touchdowns despite missing three of 16 regular season games. He also lead the Chicago Rush to the AFL Championship last season.

I already know the question: If he’s so good then why hasn’t he made an NFL team before now? My brother and I have been going back and forth on that one for days.

I have a few good answers.

First off, he’s still only 26, the same age as blossoming NFL star receivers Andre Johnson, Anquan Boldin and Lee Evans. Second, he played at Western Kentucky University before the AFL. He’s never really played against top notch competition, which likely has caused scouts to undervalue his talents. I don’t see how that’s possible — considering that he’s big and ultra athletic, and this is the age where off-the-field testing means more than on-the-field results — but they’ve slept on him nonetheless. Third, he never thoroughly dominated until last season, when he finally put everything together and enjoyed the best individual season statistic wise in league history.

The guy is big bodied, lightening fast and, most importantly, catches everything thrown to him, in or out of traffic. Considering that Eddie Kennison is a glorified No. 2 receiver, Dwayne Bowe is a rookie and the rest of the Chiefs wideouts couldn’t catch herpes from Derek Jeter, I don’t see how he doesn’t end up as the team’s third receiver at worst. Maybe I’m crazy, but I’m kind of hoping that he can eventually replace Kennison and form a nice one-two punch with D-Bo.

Before you rule him out, consider his stats and watch this jaw-dropping video. I guaran-damn-tee that you’ll surf away impressed.

• After his pro wrestling gig flopped, Pacman Jones is now turning his attention to hip-hop. The Namesake’s label is National Street League Records, and his rap group is called The Posterboyz. His first single drops August 27, so mark your calendars. I’m still wondering who this guy is trying to emulate — Ron Artest or Tupac Shakur? - USA TODAY
