What you think of Pettigrew going to Atlanta? That would probably help out Matt Ryan tremendously....

He'd help Turner more than Ryan, at the next level Pettigrew is Jason Dunn.

Frankly, if both QBs are off the board then there really isn't a player whose value will match the pick for the Chiefs.

I am not sold on a guy like Malcolm Jenkins there, though, and if we are transitioning to a 34 we will already undercutting Dorsey's value, so I could live with Raji at three.

Ok so wow if true....


Maybin at 250

INDIANAPOLIS - Penn State defensive end Aaron Maybin just checked in at the NFL Scouting Combine media center. He has his weight up to 250 pounds. He's 6-foot-3 1/2. That's probably good news for teams that may want him to be a 4-3 defensive end. Now we'll see if he runs a fast time.

First link not working...


Penn St. DE/OLB Aaron Maybin apparently heard the critics that said he was too light to be a DE in the NFL. Admitting that he finished his final college season at 230 pounds.

“They wanted to see me put on some weight,” said Maybin. “So I went to work and put on 20 pounds. I feel real good right now.”

Maybin is now at 250 and said he feels good and more explosive than when he was 230. He’s been doing a lot of explosion, power lifting type training. We’ll see if it pays off, but many expect him to have a monster workout, which will only send him further up the first round board.

man, how do you add 20 lbs of what i presume is mostly muscle, in a few months?....legally, i mean....

I posted a picture of him in this forum...I still have a hard time believing he's 250 but that doesn't change the fact that he is by far the rawest of the raw when it comes to playing.

Indeed.. It does seem a little strange.. Apparently he has a very high metabolism which made it very hard for him to put on weight.. he must be eating 30 steaks a day...

That still doesn't look 250 to me...he's cut but there's no bulk, unless he's the guy in the green shirt.

lol ok dont know how to post pics.. but i got that info from draftcountdown and they had an interesting pic of Maybin before and after...

There is absolutely no way he's 250 in that picture unless he has 10lb weights attached to each ankle.

and that guy is a kicker?! Holy hell! That's some serious athleticism!

Maybin must have not pissed for 3 days before his weigh in...I'm sure guys do that, drink a ton of water and try to keep it in to weigh more just like guys who are considered overweight try to dehydrate themselves to suck out the lbs of water weight.

Looking at Mecca's picture, it doesn't look like it's been done without the aid of "supplements". Question, are the players subjected to blood tests in the combine, or once they are under contract. If it's not until under contract, would that be sufficient time for "supplements" to be released and out of the system?

They don't blood test for HGH.

To me, he looks exactly like someone who is on HGH.
