The Richmond native who also played at Fork Union Military Academy is being compared favorably to current Detroit Lion, Herman Moore.
Much of that comparison is sue to his six foot five inch frame. But he also has a tremendous work ethic and he's not afraid to ask questions.
Besides leaning on position coach Tony Ball, Wilford is also looking up to fellow wide out Andre Davis. Both players are excellent track men and both have been playing football a relatively short time.

Ernest wears number 19 because he also tries to emulate NFL receiver Keyshawn Johnson and because he says at the age of 19 he turned his life around for the better.
[SUPER=04-Last Wednesday; ]
Unfortunately, you will have to wait until the fall to see Ernest in action. A disappointing high ankle sprain that he suffered last Wednesday will keep him on the sidelines for the rest of the Spring.

This California pet owner isn't just taking his dog Buddy for a walk, he's taking him hang gliding.
The five year old Labrador suites up just like his owner.
And when the owner takes the glider by the handles... Buddy is right with him... attached to his shoulders.
You can see it was a successful flight.
