My point is, you aren’t playing D1 or even D2 football if you are that slow. You need to be able to run. I don’t care how much heart or tenacity one has, if they can’t get to the ball to hit someone, they will be wiffing at air.
Just for everyone’s info, the Packers don’t have any tight ends on their roster that were drafted this past year, so the poster’s “best friend” must have lied to him. There is a rookie TE who was a free agent, but I am sure someone’s “best friend” wouldn’t get this detail wrong.[/quote]
Wrong again big guy. Do a little bit more research next time. My best friend DID get drafted in the 5th round. And he DID play TE in college. That is until is senior year when he switched to tackle. His name is Tony Moll. Check it out dipshit.

You were clearly never the part of a college football team. I played both at the Junior college and D-1 level. I also had quite a few friends who played at the D-1 level and my best friend who happened to run a 5.2 as a tight end just got drafted by the packers in the 5th round. I also played with a kid who was 5’9" 215lb and ran a 5.0 40 as a RECEIVER and guess what??? He was an all american! Football is a game of skill, not numbers. Especially when it comes to getting looked at by colleges. College coaches recruit talent, not numbers.
Clearly, you played in the 1960s.[/quote]
Oooooor I’m 23 and I just finished up.

Defranco’s top guys are nearing 40reps…

40 reps is pretty remarkable. 20 is kinda like the minimum for any non-skilled position.
From defranco’s pictures…
Monmouth University?s Miles Austin re-writes the DeFranco?s record board in the College Athlete Division (under 220 lbs.) He is seen above vertical jumping an amazing 43 inches and bench-pressing 225 lbs. 23 times!
University of Massachusetts fullback, Rich Demers, destroys 480 lbs. in the bench press. After this easy rep, he went on to complete 40 reps with 225lbs!

I’m calling BULLSHIT on the this reply. Those guys might have had those stats as untrained 15-year olds, but no TE is going to get drafted after running a 5.0 and no WR is going to sniff All-American honors (even in DIII) running a 5.0 forty. Plus, being 5’9 215 is WAAAAAY to big to be an effective WR. That’s OLB/SS size right there.
Football is about having football skills- regardless of what your weight room numbers are. But your still going to suck at football if you have the skills but lack speed. Speed is king in football. Trust me, I have a year of D1 behind me.[/quote]
If you like I could PM you eithe of their myspace URLs and you can go ahead and ask either of them yourself. Tony (TE) ran either a 5.1 or 5.2 as a 21 year old Junior in college. Brenden was a Junior College All American. He ran his 5.0 40 as a 21 year old as well. He just finished his last year at Alabama. Another friend of mine, BJ Mitchel, was the WAC player of the year this year at RB and he ran over a 4.8. These are just a few of the people I know personally. Just think how many others must be out there throughout the NCAA with similar “Slow” 40 times. Hate to break it to ya but it’s not all about speed.
