Joey is def a classy guy showing love to his alma maters, not only is he generous to tOSU but to his high school as well. When long time Bellaire, Ohio football coach John Magistro retired this past year it was reported that Galloway sent his appreciation in the form of a SUV. Its nice to see a guy who remembers where he came from.:osu:

Joey Galloway is one of my favorite Buckeyes ever.

An absolute physical freak. Combination of blazing speed and strength. (IIRC bench is 400+)

Add to the fact that he is smart, disciplined, and humble.

Even when he signed his first major contract, he made sure not to go crazy with the $$$. He is a self described mamas boy who has no ink cause his mom would whoop him. (honestly)

He is generous with his money (giving back to the university) and is somewhat frugal as well. He has a very nice house, but no where near what Big Daddy bought. He loves OSU and has paid ahead in a big way.

He has been a solid NFL WR despite injury problems, but IIRC I read this year he thinks he is in the best shape of his life. (DBs beware)

Of all the Buckeye football players I have met, he is at or near the top. (Korey Stringer is still my favorite)

Should add this about Joey.

After his Jr. year he could have gone early in the draft. He chose not too, and it was a tough decision for him.

IIRC, he made the announcement form his home town. Everyone thought he was gone.

I'm glad he stayed. His Senior season was my freshman year, and the first year I had season tickets.

Bucs get two more draftees signed in time for camp

Buccaneer WR Joey Galloway has witnessed and been a part of the construction of a playoff team from the side of management

Jul 18, 2007 -

As fast as Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Joey Galloway is, even he can?t be in two places at the same time. Unfortunately for the veteran wide receiver, that means the first weekend of the Bucs? training camp will present an interesting and unusual dilemma.

See, in addition to his role as lethal deep threat for the Buccaneers, Galloway also is part-owner of the Columbus Destroyers of the Arena Football League ? the same Destroyers who last weekend clinched the franchise?s first-ever title-game berth and will play in ArenaBowl XXI on July 29 in New Orleans.

That date just happens to coincide with the fourth day of Buccaneers training camp at Disney?s Wide World of Sports Complex at Lake Buena Vista, Florida. With 640 miles ? and more importantly, one demanding head coach in Jon Gruden ? separating Lake Buena Vista and New Orleans what?s an owner to do?


?I?m going to sit down and talk to Coach Gruden and see what the best way is to do things, see what?s best for both the Destroyers and of course the Buccaneers,? Galloway said. ?I kind of have two jobs right now, and it?s really his call. It?s his decision how that?s going to be handled, and I?m going to be professional either way.?

Bucs' Galloway busy being NFL player, AFL owner
By Nate Davis, USA TODAY

Joey Galloway is coming off consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He signed a three-year, multimillion-dollar contract with the club in March. He says he's never had more fun playing football than he has for Tampa Bay head coach Jon Gruden.
So why will Galloway be looking over his shoulder during Buccaneers training camp for the next few weeks? Because as part owner of the Arena Football League's ArenaBowl-bound Columbus Destroyers, his eyes are always peeled for fresh talent.

"You see a lot of guys in the Arena League who were on NFL rosters or close to making NFL teams," Galloway says. "I keep my eye open for guys who can help us out in Columbus."

And while Galloway, 35, is cooling his heels during NFL exhibition game action, he'll be surveying the competition, too. "I've never worried about evaluating guys on other teams, but I do now."

Joey Galloway

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Joey Galloway maneuvered around the question with the same grace that he zips past defenders on the football field.
When the receiver reports to training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today, one of the first things he wants to do is have a quick conversation with coach Jon Gruden about an unusual dilemma.
