Twitter Thursday

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski got in a little hot water the past week when he was photographed with an adult film "actress", who posted the photo on Twitter. The lady wore Gronkowski's jersey, and the former Woodland Hills product wasn't wearing a shirt.

Didn't seem like a big deal to me, but Gronkowski had to apologize to Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Wonder what Robert Kraft would think if he read some tweets from local high school students?

Mike,

I really like the Twitter Thursday posts. It really lets you into the mind of some of these high school athletes. In your opinion, how good is the Rawlins kid from Monessen? He has really jumped on the scene this year. On paper his physical attributes and stats look impressive. Does he have a shot to play at a major college?

Rawlins has a live arm and can zip it into small windows. He throws the type of ball that a lot of high school receivers struggle to catch but college receivers will snag.

Once he gets a little extra touch on deep passes, look out.

He's got the build, the arm and mobility. I see why he's attracting D1 attention.
