Drue Tranquill 30 out of 37 LBs?

Granted, there are other factors besides being a workout warrior (captain, intelligence, film) but surprised the projection was so low among the 37 tested with DT's numbers, including, but not limited to, his height, Bench Press, Speed, Vertical, Cone and Shuttle. [Edit: I did miss the number of backers tested in some of the drills.}

Film playing hurt?

He’s a real high-IQ-lunch-pail-high-motor type guy *

He's fast, strong and has an excellent vertical

among those LBs tested which by nature of the invite were among the elite:

•Bench press: 31 reps at 225 pounds (first among 28 linebackers)
•40-yard dash: 4.58 seconds (seventh among 22)
•Vertical jump: 37.5 inches (fifth among 24)

like a coach on the field *

Outside linebacker in the NFL is a different beast

He is likely viewed as a tweener. I would advise him to gain weight and play inside or lose weight and play safety. Best way to make a team is going to be on special teams.

Does he drink beers? Tweeter loves beer *

I think those numbers were pre-Combine. I saw them before

Drue ran or did the vertical jump. I think his stock has gone up. Better have.

They showed his agility drill. He had great lateral movement, no wobble or hesitation.

No, from a Monday linked article

"Measurables, testing, tidbits & projections from Combine (OFD)"

Small hands.

Smells like cabbage.

Ideal for a urologist or proctologist. *

He meant to say “metrics”. Better?

P.s. Smartassness aside, I do hope you had a good birthday.

Actually, I copied and pasted "Measurables"

along with the numbers posted by DT.

Projected to go to patriots in 7th *

Add 15 lbs. and move to fullback. *

I would take him in a late round.

He did blow out both his ACLs in college. Good locker room addition though.

That's a fair point

although as science and medicine march on, ACLs are not as difficult to overcome as in the past.

Some team will probably get a real bargain with a low pick *
