I, like most of us here love football so much I can watch anything that is connected to it. Watching the combine is great fun. Who runs, jumps and reacts the fastest. Which player you never really heard of pulls a Chris Johnson and makes himself a ton of money by running a god-like 40 time. The problem is that for every Johnson there are a dozen guys that put up freaky numbers at the combine that CAN'T REALLY PLAY FOOTBALL. This year it is USC S Taylor Mays. Mays is a FREAK but he also has been describes as an "athlete that lacks balance, and has a tough time getting into his drops and with being asked to play fast." He also "plays too high at times or that he didn’t have the most impressive on-the-field workout in Indy." Still he is 230 pounds and runs the 40 in the 4.4s so someone will draft him super high and he is gonna be the same guy that can's play up to his speed. These scouts kill me. Would you rather have a defender that is .2 of a second slower but is so smart and instinctive that he makes up for it when the game is going? Tedy Bruschi (pre Stroke) was never the biggest or fastest but he was ALWAYS in the right place to make the play because he was a FOOTBALL player. While I would love the Pats to get a physical freak on D, I only want him if he can play the game.
