Coach P is stunned.Sunday former SU tailback and Heisman Trophy Candidate Walter Reyes became a one man crimestopper, reports the Syracuse Post-Standard.
Walt, being in town for the M & T Foot Ball to raise money for charity, was staying at the house of Foot Ball event planner Lauren Russo-Duby. While sleeping on Sunday morning, he heard someone breaking into his girlfriend's car parked in the driveway, and proceeded to chase the robbers, shirtless, down the street until they escaped in their vehicle. While the story is worth a read, I'll highlight the Reyes quote of the game:
If I had shoes on, there would have been some trouble. I'm telling you, it would
have been lights out for those guys.
Walter Reyes: being the game hero for the first time since the 2004 football season.
This isn't the first time a Syracuse football player has played the role of crimestopper.
Remember Eugene Brown - "I'm LAPD!" Of course, he wasn't, and he was loaded outside of 44's, but it's still super fun.
Let's not forget Will Allen's bang up job of letting robbers throw gas on him and steal $200,000 worth of jewelry.
