        Well, I guess that makes sense. You can have the students practice on the old folks.

        But a football team? How old is this Stony Brook running back, then? 70?

            Right off the top.

            I'd suggest 'at most' he should be a late round consideration.

            • Minter had a great pro day, he may have moved ahead of Ogletree, it looks like Te'o is slipping into the 2nd round: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/b...inter-sparkles
              Thanks Ted!

              • Pro days don't draw as much attention as the combine, but they are just as important. Gil Brandt recalls nine players who used them to raise their profile, including New York Giants star Victor Cruz.


                Pro days are important, as NFL stars like Victor Cruz can attest

                • Want to see some strength?



                  Michael Knill was anxious to prove he was the strongest college football player in North America and wanted to smash the bench press record at the CFL Evaluation Camp in March, 2011.

                  Check out Michael Knill (Mar. 05, 2011) who played College football with Sir Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks and smashed the CFL combine record of 40 bench press repetitions, set in 2010 by another Golden Hawk, running back Mike Montoya.

                  Count them ! Are you impressed?

                  Incidently the NFL record is ** 53 bench press's at 225 lbs.

                  ** Mark Henry, 2013, 53 repetitions;? Ryback ?, 2013, 53 repetitions; Justin Ernest, 1999, 51 repetitions; Stephen Paea, 2011, 49 repetitions
                  Leif Larsen, 2000, 45 repetitions; Mike Kudla, 2006, 45 repetitions; and
                  Mitch Petrus, 2010, 45 repetitions have had the top results in history.

                  I'm seeing only a dozen prospects that racked up over 40 repititions.







                  Michael Knill was drafted into the CFL by the Toronto Argonauts on May 08, 2011. He's not listed anywhere on their roster for 2011. I'm trying to determine what happened to Michael Knill.

                  The CFL 'prospects' Combine just wraped up (last week) If you'd care to see some results. NFL teams are paying attention to what's available north of the USA border.



                  GO PACKERS !

                    David Amerson | CB | NC State
                    6’1” 205 lbs
                    Has the length, experience, and demeanor to play safety although many teams are looking at him as a corner, similar to the draft situation of Nick Collins. Very special ball skills and led the NCAA in ints last year. In tandem with Burnett the Packers would have a pair of safeties who can win the game for you on a regular basis with turnovers alone. Is aggressive and willing to sacrifice his body at full speed.

                    Barrett Jones | C | Alabama
                    6'5" 310 lbs
                    Jones is the best scholar athlete in recent memory. He’s got the brains, speed, versatility, and size Ted looks for in a lineman. He can play 5/5 spots on the OL which goes a long way towards injury proofing the line.

                    Miguel Maysonet | RB | Stony Brook
                    5’9” 210 lbs

                    As per him, the Packers are the team that have shown him the most interest and it makes sense. He ran behind a pretty lousy line against good competition on a couple of occasions and was able to produce. Best hands of any running back in the draft. Has a one-cut running style coveted by zone-blocking heavy schemes.

                    Kyle Juszczyk | FB | Harvard
                    6’1” 250 lbs
                    Versatile fullback with soft hands and the ability to lay some impressive decleating blocks. Juszczyk could be just the harvard gentleman to dethrone Kuhn as our team FB and free up a little money in the process.

                    Josh Boyce | WR | TCU
                    6’0” 209 lbs
                    If I were to double down on one guy on this list becoming a Packer it’d be Josh Boyce and not just because we have two 5th round picks. Josh is the ultimate Ted Thompson WR. He’s fast enough to be a deep threat (4.38 with a broken bone in his foot) but what makes him stand out are his ability to explode out of his cuts and his glue hands. He’s elusive yet physical with the ball in his hands. Think Donald Driver in his prime but with a little more speed and a little less ups.
                    I checked Miguel Maysonet out this morning. Impressive!

                    That young man literally disappears in a crowd and keeps on truckin'. Video on him is fun to watch.

                      There are reasons why Kevin Minter might well be picked ahead of Alec Ogletree and Manti Te'o. It may be as a result of more than measurables. His Pro Day certainly helped make that watch interesting.

                      Linebacker Kevin Minter's Pro Day featured an outstanding performance and upgrade over his Combine results. His 4.81 40-yard dash at the combine, improved to 4.67. Add in a 34.5-inch vertical jump, 7.37 three-cone drill and 4.47 short shuttle. He also looked impressive in the linebacker drills.

                      The thing with ILB Kevin Minter is that he's been a leader on a terrific college football team. A class act on and off the field.

                      Up to that performance he had been showing up behind ILB's Ogletree and Te'o in mocks; but come next week that may change. For that to be a reality Kevin Minter has to move up about 10-12 spots. That's a big move.

                        Here some of the latest on prospects moving up after their Pro Day and specifically at the ILB position.

                        The new potential leader here (at ILB) is Kansas State linebacker Arthur Brown.

                        Kansas State linebacker Arthur Brown is on the rise while other inside linebackers fall. Could he be a first-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft?

                        • I think there will be better players available at DT/DE but I do think Brown might go in the first round, he can cover and he has good speed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF4RI6W-rPw

                            He doesn't look like such a solid citizen to me. Sounds like he lives in The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.

                            • Arthur Brown doesn't create enough turnovers for my taste. He's going to be a 3 down linebacker and get a ton of tackles but that's pretty much AJ Hawk.

                                Check out FS TJ McDonald (Page 3); SS Matt Elam (page 4);
                                LB Kevin Minter (page 7); SS DJ Swearinger (page 9)
                                and FS Eric Reid (page 10).

                                We might end up with any of these prospects. SS Matt Elam is certainly being connected to us and as a possible first round pick.

                                TJ McDonald is an impressive athlete with a solid NFL bloodline - a playmaker. His father, Tim McDonald also attended USC and played 13 years in the National Football League.

                                What do you think of SS DJ Swearinger? He plays it tough.

                                Do you like any of these guys?
