his pre-bulked up weight. I believe he was only in the 240's while playing in college. at 249 he ran a 4.78, which isn't good on weight for a DE or speed for4-3 a OLB. I don't like his short track record either, but we'll see what happens with him in the NFL eventually.


how about this guy late?

hyper athletic low round OT (mainly due to a lot of injury induced missed games). he'll probably go higher than projected right now, but in the 5th or 6th, i'd take a chance there.

I think he was around 225 in college right?

Anyhow, at his Pro Day today he weighed in at 252 and ran a 4.59

Just saying... (and I know that people generally don't disagree with this)

If we think that Smith is a risk at 13, Maybin takes that to another level entirely.

Check out what Maybin has been up to. Dude has gained 25 pounds in like 7 weeks AND suddenly runs a 40 faster than he did at the combine. This reeks of HGH if you ask me. Look at those pics. That simply doesn't happen naturally in less than two months.

Don't know how true this is, but I've heard that at Penn State the field is slightly sloped so that when their players have their pro days there the 40 times are always faster than anywhere else.

Yeah, I've heard that, too.

IMO it still seems odd that someone could put on a ton of weight in a matter of weeks and not get so much slower that a sloped field would not matter.

Maybin was just in a fight a PSU and had to be restrained by two people.

when was his pro day? article says he was 225 in january? that can definitely be done

I mean that's a bit to gain but definitely not out of the range of possibilities by any means especially by someone determined.. I think that too many people are just used to seeing people that never gain because they don't train/eat/sleep correctly

coupled with PSU's playing field for the 40 time

but GTripp brings up a good point about whether he'll continue with that type of regimen or not.. for the NFL he definitely should, there are safeties that big at his old weight

Overview Murtha is a prototypical smart, big and strong Nebraska lineman, but it's been tough for him to stay on the field. He missed the first two games of last season with a staph infection and the final two games with a sprained foot, the last four games of 2007 with a foot injury and his entire freshman season with various ailments (bruised calf, hamstring, shoulder).



ouch


not to mention at 6'7" he's a bit light at just 306


I might look at him as an UDFA

NFL Network crawler just said that the Jets and the Jags will switch places in the 1st round if the player the Jets want is still there... no link to that yet.
