And you always pick the wrong ones. Reading your posts are like jumping off a cliff into the depths of stupidity, and the fall just never stops. It's just an eternal fall into simple. It's like your brain is tanking in this life, so you can pick a really good one when they are being handed out next year. You're turning a disability into an advantage. It's ridiculous. You should go on a college track forum and discuss that. No way you can know less about that than you do football, or general life discussions. I actually ran college track, so... There is that. a division 1 level no less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people on the planet with one hand can put up 20 reps of 225 and run a 4.38. I want him on our team, he would be an inspirational leader, and it appears that he actually plays at 4.4 speeds and has a knack for turnovers. He forced a lot of fumbles with jabbing his arm at the ball, could it possibly become a competitive advantage? Plays at 4.4 speed. The average of his two runs was closer to 4.5 than 4.4. Like I said overreacting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran the fastest 40 by a LB since 2003. Also, The average of his 40 times are not his play speed. Look at the tape and you see a LB who is FLYING AROUND and getting to the ball FASTer than everyone else. His combine numbers are impressive for any LB and they confirm the athlete that you see on the field. They also confirm hard work, and ability to overcome the adversity and the doubters. Imagine losing a hand at age 4, 99.99% of those people are not pushing for a pro football career. They gave up when they were 12 if they ever started in the first place.

Ok so kid averages 4.48 speed without pads but with pads on you think he has 4.4 speed... Come on that's laughable. He was often time fastest on the field. But you have to remember that weaker competition in AAC his competition will be slower I'm not trying to discredit what he did. Just the overreacting. If he had two hands people would say he had a good work out but its not some unbelievable achievement. I'm sure if you ask him he wouldn't want anyone to lower the bar from him.

Watch his tape. This kid flat out runs people down. I'd consider him in the 4th. Getting a LB with that kind of speed is rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About any 20somethibg yr old in a workout program could put that out easily He out-lifted quite a fair number of the LBs and was competitive with many more (ie, within 1 or 2 reps). DE Marcus Davenport who is considerably bigger did 22 reps. I think that is quite an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I’m a little skeptical of his bench reps given the use of a prosthetic device to compensate for his missing left hand. It would have been more impressive if he just held the bar in the middle with his one hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that it IS impressive for most people, but NOT impressive because you believe that the sleeve that fits over his arm where his hand is gives him a mechanical advantage? If you think that gave him an advantage, is it your hands that give out first on the BP or your chest/shoulders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even out of shape a few yrs ago for ***** and giggled I knocked out 19 reps at 225. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
