Virginia 38½ A 4.4 forty with an ELEVEN FOOT broad jump! This kids only 220lbs and I don't know a damn thing about him besides what I've posted. With that speed and leaping ability he might be a good safety project (ala Michael Boulaware) or might be able to bulk up a little and play OLB, who knows just pretty impressive. Michael Huff had a pretty good day of workouts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 If we run a cover 2, similar to the Tampa defense, is this kid a "potential" (that's a lot of potential...) Derrick Brooks type athletic LB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans4e64 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Jon Alston is his new alias. He changed his name after a few years because he failed miserably at trying to make the pros. You might have heard of him, his name used to be Mike Mamula.......... JUST kidding But for real i dont know who he is either, but if he could play football good we would know who he is. These numbers dont mean he can all of a sudden play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was watching the combine and he actually looked pretty good in all of the drills. I wasn't familiar with him but the talking heads were and they sadi he has a lot of potential and is sharp in pads as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagel Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Jon played outside linebacker for Stanford. He had a great Jr. year, but had some nagging injuries that limited him this last year. He excelled at pressuring the QB. The 4.4 does not surprise me. Some players claimed he was the fastest player on the team -- faster than the DBs who also run track for Stanford.
