Maybe 70 combined, but have you see the size of a 70lb dumbbell?

My guess is it's 25-35 in each hand. Still incredibly impressive.


Hard to tell, but looks legitimate to me.

For reference, screen cap of a youtube video of 70lb dumbbell curl for reps:

70s don't look so big when you're 6'9" 280

He certainly is, first time ever seeing someone with green hair, it's truly fascinating

We had a thread about him on the Fark Board back in January

Sadly, it didn't get much attention

I've never seen him play, but several mock drafts have him going in the first round. Had 11 sacks as a junior.

Looks like a sci-fi evil man/machine character in this pic.

Baylor had one of the best rush defenses in the country last year, giving up 2.9 yards per rush attempt. (5th nationally) All of Baylor's defensive problems were in the secondary.

Oakman is an excellent player, but his extraordinary measurables were not entirely lived up to. It seemed like his endurance was not quite what it needed to be, but it's possible he was being overworked, I haven't looked at playcounts.

He could have gone in the first or second round last year based on potential more than production, but he stayed because he believes he can go number 1 overall. Doubtful, but I'm not complaining.

Yeah. In the Big 12. Last time I checked, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado aren't running a heavy dose of power-I anymore.

congratulations on your 33.33% big12 team accuracy.

and last time I checked, you still have to tackle the RB when he gets the ball in a spread formation.

His point is still valid, IMO. It helps to not play many run heavy teams. Baylor led the Big12 in rushing attempts last year.

Impressive but appears to have very small/thin ankles. That's a lot of weight on those skinny ankles.
