Juice is willing to change positions. Finally.
So it seems that Juice has finally realized what we've known for weeks (if not months) now: he will never make it in the NFL as a quarterback. It seems he had a rough first day at the Bears' rookie mini-camp (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-spt-0501-bits-bears-chicago--20100430,0,4188324.story), and may have changed his tune on playing QB in the NFL:
"Quarterback has always been my desire growing up, but if a position change comes around that's best for the team, I'm all for it,'' he said. "I'd play anything … receiver, running back, anything.''
I think he has potential as a 3rd-down option type QB, where he can use his speed and size to his advantage. The article mentions that he has a strong enough arm for the NFL, but I don't think any QB coach could get him to throw accurately (Maybe I just have had too many bad memories of him overthrowing Benn and Uh-Oh). But it's not like the Bears have a great deal of depth at QB. I would give Juice a shot at one of the backup positions over Caleb Hanie. If nothing else, he could probably be a solid special teams performer.

Juice would be awesome as a special teams gunner.
Think about a guy with that size and speed, coming at you at full velocity. This was one of the only things I was ever good at when I played football in high school (that, and form-tackling), but I was undersized and slow. Juice is neither.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
