Perhaps you're seeing what you want to see... there have been players in the past who got really heavy when they were hurt, then turned around and got back in shape once they were healthy again...
..and Kai Parham was projected as a 2nd rounder until he ran a turtlish 40. Being a Butkus candidate doesn't change the fact that those workout #'s are nothing special.
I'd say a knowledgeable football fan would expect a guy to be at something less than his physical best if he's just dropped 30 plus pounds in 10 weeks...
Some of y'all might want to believe that Brooks is really a 4.7 40 guy, but of course if he was that slow, the Cavs would never have had him returning kickoffs for them (they had Alvin Pearman and Wali Lundy available for that duty)... as for the 19 reps in the bench press, bet ya that a few weeks from now, he'll be putting up better numbers than that...
You don't need to be an addict. 2 positive tests is a red flag IMO.
Of course that's true... but it's the only LEGITIMATE concern with Brooks... I repeat, the ONLY legitimate concern...
And of course, I wasn't the one who called Brooks an "addict", I was in fact ridiculing those who did...
If his workout #'s warranted him to be a 2nd or 3rd rounder at best he's a 4th or 5th rounder in my opinion with the drug history.
Bet ya somebody spends a first day pick on him, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was as low as a 2nd rounder...
I'm on record saying I don't think the Boys ought to go that high, in fact I wouldn't put in a claim for him before the 4th round, and if that ain't good enough, so be it...
It's not like the Boys have a desperate need at ILB, but if the report Groh gives Parcells is favorable enough to suit them, and the price is right, they'd be wise to draft him...
