Your upset because the NFL gives football players big contracts because they can play football……wow. How about you stay out of other peoples personal lives and pay attention to PLAYERS when it matters. You know when they are PLAYING. It sickens me that after all these guys put their bodies through to entertain us so called fans want to talk negative about these players and act all high and might because of what these guys do when they’re off the field. When they are in pads feel free to criticize l. When they are elsewhere they have every right to do what they want whether you approve or not.

I know he has major issues, but if you are a DBs coach worth your salt, you’ll make him a great DB in this league.

Using the word “might” as in it “might mean he doesn’t have a good work ethic” really doesn’t change this.

Yeah right, just what we need is this guy hanging out with Trent Williams and Fred Davis. Those guys would be high 24 hours a day.

A 6’8″ lineman (regardless of his weight) has to lift the weight significantly further than a player that is 5’10″. That’s why you typically dont see power lifters over 6’2″. Harder for a tall guy to bench typically.

Or a players sexuality, thats just bogus things. If a player gets kicked off a team for not following rules? Not a red flag. Smoking weed and getying kicked off the team? Red flag.
And Tyrann looks to be an ok slot corner so he should work his way from their on a team who takes a chance on him on day 3.

More understandable if teams are looking at him as a safety with more duties stopping the run. Even if he is doing press coverage, that is more about have strong legs/core/back so you can turn your hips on a dime without losing any balance.

Sitting out a year benching 225, 4 xs, while weighing 175 doesn’t sound all that bad. Patrick Peterson did 14 reps and is already a top 5 CB in the NFL. Not much to worry about

They never seem to be the same as the “official” times, so whats the point of even talking about them?

Now we look at all the 300+ lineman out there 225 is equivalent to doing a push up. so excuse me if i am not impressed by a 6’7 320lb man benching 225 only 30 times..

when you look at the RBs, DBs and WRs that all weight less than 225 repping that out 20+ times, which is more impressive.

These guys should all be benching their body weights. then you can get a real gauge on where their strength lies.

Cover ground, and have a nose for the ball.

Vick and Plax get contracts after two years in jail. Big Ben gets contracts after two sexual assault/rape charges. Now Matthieu will get a contract after getting kicked off his college team, and Te’o still will after all his dishonesty. The NFL doesn’t care about these guys character, they care about if they’re good at football. NFL players act above the law because NFL teams give them the impression that they are above the law.

I’m fine with that, but the NFL needs to stop acting all high and mighty and acting like they care so much about character and integrity, when all they care about is whether or not the guy can play.

Michael David Smith: Did you actually read our post? We didn’t say “he must have poor work ethic.” We said some NFL teams will question whether he has a poor work ethic, which was corroborated by a quote from an NFL coach, Mike Zimmer.
