I'm predicting now that Vick Ballard is going to light up the combine.
Like Fumblin Fannin, I think he had the 2nd fastest combine time last year.
ETA: Fannin was 5'10 231 lbs at the combine and ran a 4.38.

I think Vick is going to make a great pro, but not because of his measurables. The guy has great balance, vision, and patience. It was criminal how few touches he got in certain games.

Upshaw's arms are huge, I thought the uniform made them look bigger.
I saw Maze and Smelley too, neither look like football players. You'd expect Maze would be ripped at that size, but not so much...

When he is wearing a jersey, it looks like his triceps stick out 8 inches.

You head wrong. I think it was pretty obvious he said "fo", when he handed the MVP trophy to Mark Barron (who wears #4). No only that, plenty of players that were on the stage have stated he said "fo". It's just because his "line" went viral with the wrong quotation that there's any confusion.

Those numbers for Smelley are a little off. I saw him listed as 6-1 7/8 and 233 pounds.

Man Joe Adams is tiny. Probably hurt him come draft day only being 5'10 175. NFL sees that as a slot guy all the way.
He was always going to be a slot guy and return guy. This changes nothing.

Some of those descriptions were pretty funny.

That was probably a mistake on my part, I sometimes type what I'm reading instead what I meant to type...

I can honestly say I called Upshaw being 6-1, 270 last year
Indeed, I remember this...
He has some huge traps.

How often do you see an OLB as big as Upshaw at over 270? I think he's perfect for a 3-4 LB though he'd be a beast in a 4-3 at end. Jarrett Johnson is an OLB at that kind of size for the Ravens but other than that you just don't see LB's that big. I'll bet that he runs in the 4.7 range at the combine.

Is Maze going to play in the game? It seems like a short recovery time from the Championship game. I am not sure if I would be willing to reinjure myself if I was in his shoes.

If I were a NFL GM, I'd like UpShaw at DE in a 4-3...
He reminds me a lot of Elvis Dumervil, except he's around 2 inches taller and 10 pounds heavier. UpShaw is also stronger, whereas Dumervil is probably faster. He's a shorter DE so he could gain leverage on the offensive linemen.
