Initially, Axl was a three sport athlete and keeping with the Indiana tradition basketball was very important. Baseball drifted away 1st, save a mention from weird ashley, then basketball, till he became a one sport athlete. Of all the sports he played I see it the exact opposite. The sport most believable for him is baseball, second basketball, and third football.

It's a small town, there arnt a lot of big guys, usually a couple. It's possible he could have been the best running back on his team, I mean he did break 15 mph on foot. Even the college looks like it's run by small guys. Like that episode where him and hutch were tryongbto get bigger, that one football player who had gotten bigger over the summer still seemed small

Oh, come on. He'd make an excellent punter. If he had those skills.

Yeah he'd be much stronger by now if he was playing collegiate football but it's just something I look past

Yeah. I never did buy him as a football player. Almost every other sport I could see it.

Baseball makes more sense
