Beerball Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and Dolphins have shown the most interest, sending T-shirts and hats — the photo-op accessories for draft weekend. Leonard, who is 6 feet 2 3/8, said he gained 15 pounds since Pro Day and now weighs 298. bottom of article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 bottom of article Never underestimate the power of trinkets. In manufacturing, it's a wise tech rep that liberally passes out the hats, lighters, pens and the like. The fellow installing your part or squirting your goo treats you and your product with fine respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That was when Leonard wowed NFL scouts by bench-pressing 225 pounds 41 times and completing the pro-agility test in 4.35 seconds. 41 reps on the bench press That's phenominal. He ran a 4.88 40 time and was as quick as some LB's in the agility drills? Sounds like he could be a steal for somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY Nole Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Sounds like a workout wonder to me and at 298 pounds he is too light in the ass for me. I still remember days of Ted Washington and Pat Williams -- this tampa 2/cover 2 defense is the worst defensive scheme in the history of defense. I hate the morons that say "he's a three technique" or "a five technique." Bullsh$#! I'll take the big men with attitudes and plug the middle of the line all day against your penetrating gap DT's.

el Tigre Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Another DT that should be availiable in the later rounds is Terrence Taylor from Michigan. He's very strong and stout against the run,also surprisingly agile for a fireplug type DT. He's somewhat short and the Wolverines D was bad this year so his stock has really slipped. Going into the college seaon he was viewed as a possible first round pick. I think he may be a sleeper for somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 nice another undersized player-just what this team needs Sounds like a workout wonder to me and at 298 pounds he is too light in the ass for me.

You guys are obsessing on size. His size is less relevant than his ability. He's 6'2" 298 pounds. He ran a 4.88 forty. I'm not saying this guy is going to amount to anything or not. I have no idea. But just to remind you Warren Sapp came into the league at 6'2" and 300 pounds. He ran a 4.84 forty. He had a good career: 7× Pro Bowl selection (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003) 4× First-team All-Pro selection (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002) 2× Second-team All-Pro selection (1997, 1998) Super Bowl champion (XXXVII) NFL 1990s All-Decade Team 1999 NFL Defensive Player of the Year 96.5 career sacks John Randle came into the league at 6'2" 290 pounds. He also was very quick and fast. He also had a good career: 7x Pro Bowl selection (1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001) 6x First-Team All-Pro selection (1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998) NFL 1990s All-Decade Team 137.5 career sacks Sapp was a first round pick. Randle was not drafted. If you live life and make judgements based solely on one criteria, you're going to miss out on a lot of very good things.
