Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Blaine "Vanilla Gorilla" Sumner would be a welcome addition to our Dline as a UDFA, Kid has insane power, surprising mobility and a very nasty attitude. "Blaine played Full Back for the Colorado School of Mines in the short yardage/goal line situations. Blaine complied 4 touchdowns this season and was 2nd on his team for rushing touchdowns. On Defense he compiled 33 tackles (6TFL) 3 forced fumbled, and 3 blocked kicks and of course drawing his usual 20+ double teams a game. He has had interviews with over 50% of NFL team scouts and is just months away from instantly solidifying the Defensive Line to whichever team manages to secure the monster known as; the Vanilla Gorilla. After talking with Blaine about his goals for the upcoming College pro-days and NFL combines; he has his sights set high. He is aiming to break the NFL combine 225Rep record (which stands at 45 reps.) Blaine told me that he has hit 225x50 in training back in November of 2010. His vertical jump is 33'' and has standing jumped onto a 50'' box! If that's not enough to get the scouts drooling at this monster of a interior lineman, he also is training every day to get his 40 yard dash at a blazing speed of 5.1 or better, at 335lbs!" http://www.powerliftingwatch.com/files/BlaineSumner.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) The weight lifting was the most impressive part of his video. I would have imagined him completely dominating the line, but he really didn't. Edited February 18, 2011 by 5 Wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 He won't succeed in the NFL because his first name is "Blaine". Just ask the Gabbert detractors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 What is this, a test to see which posters like workout warriors? I think we should look at trading up to get this kid. No one can overpower him, so he's obviously the rock we need to solidify the defense and make it impossile to run up the middle on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he can lift a ton of weight, but let's see what he can do on the field. I was expecting to see him bull rush the center and snap the QB in half.

mikef272002 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hey as a 7th round pick or an Un-Drafted free Agent I wouldn't mind taking a look at him.. Remember Kyle williams was a 5th round pick none even heard of, it was his high motor and work ethics that got him to where he is today, him and kyle would be pretty mean on the line..

BUFFALOTONE Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 he is obviously an OX but has the flexibility of wood. Enter in the fact that he has been pretty much playing the equivalent to high school talent in college this guy would get lapped in the league. He is almost too muscular if that makes sense. The right DL coach could mold him but probably a practice squad player at best. Side note, I was working out when at UCF and they had a few of the walk ons lifting. I saw some Canadian kid with the same build repping 225, he was at 50 and the coaches told him to stop. He could have easily gotten 10 more, but to be honest the guy was so stiff he probably couldn't wipe his butt. Oh and he didn't make the team either.

Sisyphean Bills Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 It's kind of cool to see a highlight video where the OL is getting blown back on roller skates and with a Vanilla Gorilla rag dolling people. Talk about getting off a block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stl Bills Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Whatever you do don't google his name in hopes of finding a scouting report. Apparently there is a gay porn star with the same name and google instant search just pulled up some images I really didn't want to see......time to turn the safesearch feature back on.

Turbosrrgood Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Cool post and everything, obviously this guy is really strong. Unfortunately it's proven every year that being a work out freak doesn't make you a good football player. In fact, from watching that video of him playing against what looked like junior high football teams, he looked mediocre at best, and seemed to be blocked with ease by puny walk-on O-linesman. I'll say a big no thanks to this guy. Hey makes Leif Larson look like a pro bowler. Also, since when is a 5.2 40 time "blazing fast" !?!? That is probably about average for O and D linesmen. Now if you are recruiting someone to pick up cars, or flip tractor tires...this is your guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Fong Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yeah well this guy's lifting is impressive and all, but I don't know if he's heard that Torrell Troup is working on a wheel. Let's see how he does on a wheel before we talk about drafting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
