Scout.com's version of Ahmad Brooks' Pro Day


The bulk of the workout was run by John Dorsey of the Green Bay Packers and Ricky Hunley, linebacker coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. Trainer Chip Smith from the Atlanta region also helped out.

Brooks, who weighed almost 290-pounds two months ago, measured in at 6-feet-4-inches and 260-pounds. He completed 19 reps on the bench, posted a 9-foot/8-inch broad jump and 32-inch vertical leap.

All the teams present were handed a medical report from Dr. James Andrews of Alabama which gave Brooks a clean bill of health. According to Andrews, nothing irregular showed up on the MRI's conducted on Brooks surgically repaired knee. Results of drug tests administered to Brooks over the past ten weeks, all of which were negative, were also available.

Despite the heat Brooks took three shots at running the forty. The first times ranged from 4.56-to-4.59, then a 4.68 on the second and finally a 4.73 on his final try.

As previously mentioned 22 teams were on hand with the Giants, Niners and Dolphins sending the largest contingents. The Giants and Dolphins have set up individual interviews with Brooks in the coming weeks. Brooks had previously met with officials from the Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers.

Surprising to many the New England Patriots have shown no interest in Brooks to date. The New York Jets had a single scouts in attendance and also have little interest in the linebacker.

fairly pedestrian numbers. Blimping up to 290 shows a lack of discipline and awareness of just how critical this time is for him. Maybe some team will be dumb enough to let go a 2nd or 3rd rd pick for him. Just hope it ain't us.

LOL... good ol' burma, never does say anything NEW, but he says it, and says it, and says it...

Then, he turns around and insults anybody who DEFENDS Henson, as being as "obsessed as kartr is about Quincy"... of course, there can never be a thread that even mentions Drew's name in passing that burma will be able to exist...

For you to call ANYBODY "obsessed" on this subject is the essence of hypocrisy, burma... I'm bettin' you've plunked over major dollars for your very own Drew Henson voodoo doll, and spend hours each night doing completely unnatural things to it...

The bench numbers looked real weak but the 40 times, at least the first ones, are pretty impressive for a dude that size.
I still think this guy is living off a reputation that he just doesn't measure up to anymore.

I just want to know how he plays on the field when he's healthy, that's all I care about...
