****Official NFL Scouting Combine 2009 Thread**** - Page 16

With the Combine starting today, I thought it would be nice to have a thread with all updates from the Combine all in one place. Any player discussion from Indianapolis is welcome here.

The point is he had rumors of juicing in high school....

Also the nature of those 2 pics are so ridiculously different comparing them is pretty funny.

That's a nice misinterpretation though, you're great at that.

damn dude i was talking about post #220(NOT EVEN yours) at the end he said "thats the guy i want to spend a 1st on" thats why i asked just so i didnt have to read EVERYTHING. CHILL OUT

The dumbass who posted that is misinterpreting those pictures evenw rose than I had previously seen. Those aren't before and after photos. Cush was ****ing built in highschool, he trained with some professional meathead trainer. He had an injury at USC and lost a bunch of weight, which is when that first pic was taken. People accused him of juicing because has tits in the first pic, not because he blew up afterwards.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 02-23-2009, 08:31 PM

I think Curry is a better prospect than Cushing. With that being said, he should not be considered a top 3 pick.

I realize that he's ambrosia for the true fans because he's "safe", but no prospect is "safe". His knee could get Robert Edwardsed the first day of Rookie Camp.

Can somebody tell me more about DE Michael Johnson? I saw that he had some pretty good combine numbers and weighed in at 266. So will he most likely still project as a 2nd rounder...even with Maybin falling? I noticed he didn't BP, but with his long arms I can understand why. However, I did see on a G-TECH youtube workout video that he power cleaned 340--supposedly-- in 2007...which sounds like a solid number. I know that he is raw or whatever, but Id like to know more from those who have seen him play... because I haven't.

He quits on a lot of plays.
He only ran a 4.75, that's good, but it was outpaced by several guys considered to be inferior athletes.

He's tall with long arms, but they aren't super long. He's very strong for his arm length though,

If you want to talk about a guy who beasted it at the combine, look at Connor Barwin. 41.5 inch vert, 4.66 40, and he's a really fluid athlete.

Rudy tossed tigger's salad · 02-23-2009, 10:57 PM

sounds good...so do you pass on him in the 2nd if all other worthy DEs at that pick are gone? For such a great athlete to never start under Chan Gailey in 3 years, Im guessing that he may not draw much interest from the chiefs if Chan had any say--which he should.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 02-23-2009, 11:04 PM

If I were to rank DEs right now, this would be it:

1. Orakpo
2. Brown
3. English
4. Barwin
5. Maybin
6. Johnson
7. Ayers
8. C. Brown
9. Kruger
10. Kyle Moore

Hamas have you seen Barwin play, an intriguing prospect converted TE 11 sacks his 1st year playing the position. He also looked good in all drills at combine just needs to get stronger.

He was talking up moving to OLB in a 3-4. Said he was good in space and liked defense so he thought OLB was the next step.

Seen that, Chiefs need a DE though and he's big enough just looking for a bargin maybe the next J Allen.

Frosty · 02-24-2009, 09:37 AM

Has Barwin put himself in the 1st round with that performance?

Frosty · 02-24-2009, 09:47 AM

Is there a site that shows the measurements taken at the Combine? Stuff like exact height, arm length, hand size, etc?
