Size and strength are necessary, but what separates NFL players from college players is feet. If that knee can’t hold up or slows him down, he will go down as a footnote in combine lore as Larson and Kudla did.

Reggie White reportedly did 50 once then basically just stopped because he didn’t want to show off.

And if he’s not, no one will ever remember your “bold” statement.

Mark it.

Sounds like he can play well at the college level. No mention of his intelligence. The ability to understand game situations is undervalued by most.

Stubby little arms. He got away with it in college, but couldn’t get past blockers in the NFL.

Working hard in the weight room doesn’t translate to the football field. They’re called workout warriors for a reason.

That is truly an amazing number.

An interesting note on Larsen. From Norway, he looked very similar to actor Dolph Lundgren. He was nicknamed “Drago”. He came to UTEP as a shot putter, he was a very good athlete, measuring in at 6’5 309 and running a 5.0 40 along with his 45 reps (he actually had 55 reps but had 10 taken away for not going up far enough). Anyway, after the NFL, Larsen took his talents (?) to boxing where for a little while he was fairly successful fighing a bunch of tomato cans.

“His strength in the weight room translates to the football field.”

This guy will be the steal of the draft.

Mark it.

Ridiculous…
