|BlackJesus| Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 The veteran posters here know that over the last 12 years of this forum, my biggest pre-draft weakness is a DT over 340 lbs who can move … they give me a Platonic football boner like no other prospects. Well this year, we have a prospect that fires that flesh rocket into the stratosphere, meet Baylor TE LaQuan McGowan, who is 6’7, 405 lbs, and just ran a 5.4 40 yd dash at his pro day. He can even catch passes with 1 hand and score touchdowns! An ex basketball player and good athlete, at his pro day today he also had a 24-inch vertical jump and 8-foot-2 broad jump, did the 20-yard short shuttle in 5.47 seconds and the three-cone drill in 8.25 seconds. He then performed 30 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press despite his 7 foot wingspan. Imagine the possibilities at FB, blocking TE, Goal line DT, Short yardage RB, ... the dreams are endless!

LostInDaJungle Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 His projection is Rd7-FA... Considering the way we use Peko and Roland/Fisher, dude's a 6th O-Lineman who can actually catch a pass. (His true college position is OG) Absolutely no reason not to take a 7th round flier on the guy. I can see him getting 5-6 plays a game in Jumbo and goalline sets.

esjbh2 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Is that enough to justify dressing him on game day though?Yeah, that brings up a topic I go back and forth on...the 53 limit...if expanded it could really open up some interesting gadget plays, different defensive packages, more special teams specialists, etc. for teams that could afford to have/keep more players with one-off talents...on the other hand, limiting to 53 promotes challenging strategy.

LostInDaJungle Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Is that enough to justify dressing him on game day though?It's been enough to justify putting Dennis Roland on the active roster. It was enough to get Jake Fisher into games this year. For a few years now we've had that "jumbo" lineman on the gameday roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineBengal Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Dood has no chance in the NFL until he learns to bend and get his pad level down. Like, way down. Like, 4' or more down.At TE, talk to me when he's down to 305. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kochman Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I knew BJ was going to love this guy after hearing about him. I could see him as a project for oline. Remember jason peters was in the same boat coming out of college. To big for tight end but was athletic. Not saying he will be a jason peters but you have to love his size and athleticism.
