Beene...185 with a 308 squat clean. Impressive.

Beebe does look strong. Hagan is my favorite, lol.

Ready for Maddawgz to post something negative here.

Olootu's lift at 301 was super impressive. And Sutton Smth looks like a mound of muscle. I'm really curious to see how he gets used. Such a good athlete, but no true position.

100% agree on Olootu. Very surprised he was capable of that lift

Sutton definitely is a freakish looking dude. Maybe this will be his breakout year.....

LOL at the end

Smith and Jawuan Johnson are my X-factor guys. I think both have big play potential, and if just one of these guys can fulfill it I think it could be a really big bonus for the defense.

I agree about Johnson as a potential star ( is that the kiss of death?) If Bobby Jones IV can stay healthy he's looking like a beast too. I think the back seven on D are going to be very good to best in MAC

Bobby Jones looks like a man amongst boys these days. He's a dark horse NFL talent to me. He's played in every game since his freshman year if I'm not mistaken.

he's definitely a stud and i do agree that he has one of the better shots at getting into a NFL camp among our seniors this year.

however, didn't he get hurt last year and miss half of the season? He has definitely played a ton of snaps in his career but I'm almost positive he has missed games due to injury

I know he's a DE. I'm more interested in how he will be used situationally. Obviously he will be in on third and long or obvious passing situations, but could they drop him back into a zone coverage or something like that. I'm Hoping they find a way to utilize his athleticism. If he's strictly just a one-hand-on-the-ground DE, he can be a liability in the run game. He will get engulfed. He's giving up 100lbs to tackles.

And before you say - he'll only be in on passing situations - I'm not so sure that 3 and 6 is a passing down if the O thinks they can run over a safety sized D-end and pick up 6-7 yards. If he's limited to 3rd and 10 or longer, it's going to be VERY situational, like only 7 plays a game. It's just unusual to have a DE who is smaller than the LBs behind him. I'm just curious how it plays out.

Whoa! Marcus Jones & and the new Juco D-Tackle "Justin Nwachukwu" . Good stuff !
