NYT writes up Triad native Madison Hedgecock, considered by many the best fullback in the NFL:
Hedgecock is the fullback who clears paths for Jacobs, Derrick Ward and Ahmad Bradshaw, the running backs for the Giants, who will play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in an N.F.C. divisional playoff game at Giants Stadium.
But before and after practices and games, Hedgecock entertains his teammates with his humor and his random observations. With an accent of North Carolina and the style of Gomer Pyle, he elicits smiles and prompts banter.
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen or heard the words ‘style’ and ‘Gomer Pyle’ in the same sentence.
