kareem kelly? DRAFT HIM AGAIN!!!! not.

 

[REALCHRISM]

Ellis did 34 at the combine...where are you all coming up with 38 and 40?

He has been said to have done as many as 40 at a time.

 

[MPar98]

too bad rumors dont count then huh?

I am curious to see what he does today though...

 

[Chris Cole]

I predict that Coach Orgeron throws a line baited with a steak at Ellis, Ellis bites it, and as Ellis is being reeled in Walter Thomas comes along and eats Ellis. Orgeron spends the rest of the day trying to reel "Big Walt" in because he keeps jumping and doing backflips.

It's not rumors. He has done it in daily workouts leading up to the draft at USC.

"R Jay Soward" is trying out.....that pick helped push Coughlin out of Jacksonville. I'm shocked to see him giving it another try.

 

[TideSaint]

Ellis set the USC bench rep record with 41 reps before last season. This is no rumor. The man is stronger than all of us put together.

Then he should be thanking the young man or he wouldn't have won the Superbowl with the Giants.

Strange how things work out sometimes.

Washington ran a 4.35

 

[iron error]

I have been meaning to post the question if USC players are overrated....

I am comparing how talented their college teams are supposed to be versus who excels in the pros. The only reason I pose the question is as it relates to us drafting players from USC.

If you go back to 2000 or so, who are the above average to great players in the league from USC (since their rise to prominence).....Carson Palmer, Polamanu, and Tatupu, perhaps Reggie. I mean they are supposed to be a football factory, but I just can't name many top players from USC, so that reputation doesn't fit. It especially seems that there D Line, O Line, and receivers are overrated coming out. I may be wrong, I just wanted to see what other's opinions were.

Here is an Orgeron interview

Washington ran a 4.35

Wow! His biggest knocks were injuries, academic issues and his timed speed.
He has a full all clear from the doctors, persevered through the academic issues and sorted them, and now got his time down from 4.6 to 4.35.
I reckon he's a Payton guy and someone is getting a great mid round back in him who will start. I don't know why USC didn't give him the ball more last year.
