IMO it's an intriguing teaser question, curious if any of the draft gurus here know this one off the top of their heads, and what they think of this player for the Pats... NO CHEATING (looking up #s or trying to find the post in question would be cheating...) After looking through the workout numbers, I have found out who I want with our #1 pick, and he may be the ILB we've all been looking for. At the combine, he measured up at 6'2 265, which is 1" taller than the average, and 22lbs heavier than the average ILB at the combine. He jumped 37" in the vertical, tops among ILB's. In the 60 yard shuttle, the best test of a players conditioning and agility, he ran a 10.91 time. The only linebacker to come close, inside or outside, was Demarcus Ware, at a 10.93. The average linebacker time was 11.68. This time out performed such top prospects as safety Thomas Davis, safety James Butler, corner Brandon browner, corner Travis Daniels, and corner Carlos Rogers. In fact, it was the 5th best defensive time of the dya, and only defensive backs beat him. His 10 yard split in the 40 was 1.68. The average linebacker time was 1.69. In the 3 cone drill, he ran a 6.86 and a 6.88. Only two safeties ran under 7 seconds, and neither beat this person. Demarcus Ware actually did beat him however, and Ware put up 6.83 and 6.87. No inside line backer got under a 7 second time. In the 20 yard shuttle, he ran a 3.98 and a 3.90. The inside linebacker average is 4.28. The OLB average was 4.18. For comparison, top 5 prospect Derrick Johnson, heralded as a stud athlete, posted times of 3.99 and 3.87. Only 6 corners managed to post times under 4 seconds. The player displayed impressive agility and athleticism in every drill. He routinely posted better numbers than the inside linebackers, and better than most outside linebackers. Who is the player?

NO CHEATING (looking up #s or trying to find the post in question would be cheating...) I'm not gonna lie and say I have any idea. But my gut instinct is it is some current Pats player's combine stats from years ago compare to today's crop of LB's. Pats fans never seem to get tired of the gratuitous self gratification over their own players. Don't forget to use a sock RS. It's less mess. Oh, and if I'm way off base and it is in fact not a Pats player, well screw off anyway Pats fag :wink: :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomShane Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hmm, it's a teaser, so it's probably one of those DE's that are making the switch. I'll say Boomer Grigsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately most mocks have him going in the 15-25 range.... so probably unlikely we snag him unless that Jarvis Green/Dallas rumor pans out.

I think he'll fall He's got tweener written al over him The one team/coach that would scare me if I'm a Pats fan that wants Pollock is Parcells....also Ried/Eagles would scare me too They, like BB likes these types of LB's Telling you...this guy will be a prize for the team that gets him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardSeymour Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 Tweeners are sexy this year though. Teams are keying off the success of the Pats with tweener LBs and a LOT are shifting to the 3-4 part time or full time and seeking those DE/OLB hybrids for the edge...

RichardSeymour Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 TBC is interesting and I like his chances to develop into a full time LB of quality. IMO though he wouldn't be ready for a full time role this year. He needs at least a year or two to ease into the position, playing limited downs.
