NFL Combine

First off the NFL Combine is the most overrated event in sports, but it still can increase or decrease a players bankroll by millions. That being said though I love when ballers are competitors and go against their Jerry Maguire and still participant. For example Brady Quinn went against his agent by participating in the bench and by doing so went Sonoma St. graduate Larry Allen. The QB benched 225 24 times. I’m willing to bet most of you degenerates can’t even do 24 pushups. The only thing about Brady’s record bench performance (Denver Bronco QB Jay Cutler did 23 in last year’s combine) is he must have been working out with the LB who is pounding his older sister. That’s right A.J. Hawk is Brady’s brother-in-law.



Joe Thomas is a flat at beast. Not only is he 6’8 310 pounds but the guy ran a 4.92 forty. He also had excellent footwork in all the drills and locked himself into a top five pick. Detroit will probably get him at number two.



Calvin Johnson is a stud. He is T.O. without the off-the-field issues and actually cares about his tem. His QB at Georgia Tech, Reggie Ball, was average at best. He is the type of QB to be dominating a flag football league ten years from now in some ATL park. Johnson had to deal with double-teams all game and Ball with a 47 accuracy in NCAA football 2007 and a arm of maybe forty yards at most. If Johnson had gone to USC he would have put up even more numbers. What makes him so scary is he is 6’4, 230 pounds, and ran a 4.35 in another guy’s shoes.



The real funny thing is he is going to be around for the Lion’s pick at number two, but they won’t have the balls to select anther WR after they selected three receivers in a row from 2003-2005 (Charles Rodgers, Roy Williams, Mike Williams). Johnson is going to be better then the other three and will be another knife stabbed into Lion’s fan's hearts. The only way to prevent this to the fans is if the before mentioned Thomas becomes Jonathan Ogden and not (Tony Mandarich, Brian Jozwiak, and Robert Gallery.)
