Not impressed....Larry Allen almost benched pressed that much....



Just kidding...pretty good for a kid that just turned 21

Damn he did it like it was almost nothing.

Impressive but can he play football? Don't know anything about him so honest question.

He's got a lot of room to grow, but he's got pretty rare off the snap speed for a guy his size. Sometimes, he looks like he has a Warren Sapp ceiling.

Edit: "Inconsistent" is always the word that pops in my head when watching him play.

He needs more upper body strength. He is very quick for a big guy and could develope into a fine player. Looks like he has the lower body strength but I see plays where he gets over powered which is a combination of technique which he will learn and upper body strength
I like the pick

You can't teach the speed off the ball he has though, he'll get stronger going through an NFL strength program.

Heres hoping Marinelli gives him one thought when he's in the game..........get upfield and that will reduce his inconcistency tremendously. It fits at the 3-tech without problems, and on passing downs could even give us the same at 1-tech.

Yep. Thats the slight knock that makes people wonder. Marinelli will instill consistency.

We really are lucky to have Marinelli, and he loves the project guy like Collins.

Agree. He looks like a LB with his first 3 steps. Super quick

By the way, I'm all about OL/DL that are former wrestlers; leverage, hands, etc...

Like the pick too.

Upper body strength really isn't THAT big of a deal compared to core and legs.

And like you said, that side of it will come.

Yep

 

[zrinkill]

Strong guy

 

[YosemiteSam]

No so impressive when someone (Larry) benches 700lbs.

Me too. I've got a soft spot for them. Tyler Clutts was one, too.
