2012 Senior Bowl: Weigh-In Analysis

By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell


Senior Bowl North Team Weigh-In Analysis:

  • Ohio State center Mike Brewster (6-4, 310) is built well and firm. He had maybe the most impressive body of any center prospect.

  • North Carolina State linebacker Audie Cole (6-4, 248) is lean with defined abs. He has the frame to add more weight if necessary.

  • Marshall defensive end Vinny Curry (6-3, 265) was put together well. He has the size for a 4-3 as well as a 3-4. Previously some thought that Curry was too small for a 4-3.

  • Nebraska linebacker Lavonte David (6-0, 225) hit his listed measurements, and while he is undersized, he doesn't have an ounce of fat on him. David is very chiseled.

  • One can see that Nebraska cornerback Alfonzo Dennard (5-10, 203) puts time in at the weight room.

  • Ohio State running back Boom Herron (5-9, 212) is jacked. He has the upper body strength to handle the hits.

  • Boise State safety George Iloka (6-3, 222) is a big safety who will appeal to teams that want an enforcer type.

  • Washington left tackle Senio Kelemete (6-3, 300) is well built but a little short.

  • Boise State running back Doug Martin (5-9, 219) looks like a body builder. Like Lavonte David, there isn't an ounce of fat on Martin.

  • Michigan defensive tackle Mike Martin (6-1, 307) could try out for the Incredible Hulk. He has a massive upper body with a huge chest, shoulders and arms. He may be a little top heavy.



  • Boise State outside linebacker Shea McClellin (6-3, 248) was lighter and leaner than his listed measurements. At that weight he isn't an option to play defensive end in a 4-3 defense and really is only a 3-4 prospect.

  • Iowa State tackle/guard Kelechi Osemele ( 6-5, 333) could use some work in the weight room, but he has a good frame and starting point.

  • Appalachian State wideout Brian Quick (6-3, 222) and Arizona State wide receiver Gerell Robinson (6-3, 223) have similar bodies and are put together well. They both are lean but defined.

  • Notre Dame safety Harrison Smith (6-1, 212) looks like a boxer with a ripped physique.

  • Utah State linebacker Bobby Wagner (6-2, 241) has a powerful chest and definitely is a weight-room standout.

  • Boise State defensive tackle Billy Winn (6-3, 296) is flabby and needs to redefine his body.

  • Cincinnati defensive tackle Derek Wolfe (6-4, 286) is lighter than expected. He has a broad chest and may be able to put on weight. At his current size, he is too light for the inside of a 4-3 defense and would be best going to defensive end in a 3-4 defense.




    Senior Bowl South Team Weigh-In Analysis:

  • Mississippi State running back Vick Ballard (5-10, 217) has an excellent build. He has a strong upper body that looks like good armor to take the pounding that comes with his position.

  • Baylor center Philip Blake (6-2, 312) looked sloppy. He needs to redefine his body and turn some fat into muscle.

  • While Georgia cornerback Brandon Boykin (5-9, 183) is short, he is ripped. Boykin looks like he trains hard and obviously is in phenomenal shape.

  • North Carolina defensive end Quinton Coples (6-5, 281) has big, powerful upper body. He looks like a prototype 4-3 defensive end.

  • Houston wide receiver Patrick Edwards (5-8, 168) is extremely small. Few receivers have careers in the NFL at that size.

  • Arizona quarterback Nick Foles (6-5, 244) had a perfect body for an NFL signal-caller. He is tall and filled out to take the hits. There were oos and ahhs from scouts after his measurements were announced.

  • Texas A&M wide receiver Jeff Fuller (6-4, 217) has a defined body. He looked good in the eyeball test.

  • Baylor running back Terrance Ganaway (5-11, 241) needs to lose some fat. He should drop some weight around a midsection that looked too soft for a running back. Dropping a few pounds should make him quicker as well.

  • Georgia guard/tackle Cordy Glenn (6-5, 346) was a little sloppy in his appearance, but he is a massive man who has the frame to be a beast. If he can trim some fat while adding some functional strength he could help his power and quickness.

  • Texas A&M running back Cyrus Gray (5-10, 198) was impressive. He looked bigger and more chiseled than was expected.

  • Vanderbilt cornerback Casey Hawyard (5-11, 188) is ripped. He posted good numbers and didn't check in shorter than listed.

  • North Alabama cornerback Janoris Jenkins (5-9, 191) is a little short, but he is built. He obviously works hard in the weight room.

  • Georgia center Ben Jones (6-2, 304) has a sloppy body that needs some work.

  • North Carolina wide receiver Dwight Jones (6-3, 226) has an ideal frame for a pro wide receiver. He was very impressive with his build, height and weight.

  • Alabama cornerback Marquis Maze (5-7, 184) is strikingly short. That measurement could really hurt him.

  • North Carolina defensive tackle Tydreke Powell (6-2, 309) had a disappointing weigh in. He is undefined with no pecs. He looks like he hasn't hit the weight room hard in college.

  • Alabama tight end Brad Smelley (6-1, 233) is very undersized. He probably has to move to fullback and is not big enough to play tight end.

  • LSU safety Brandon Taylor (5-11, 202) is defined and has a tough-looking physique.

  • Clemson defensive tackle Brandon Thompson (6-2, 311) carries his weight extremely well. That was good for his stock to show that he is not a soft body type.

  • Alabama outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw (6-1, 273) was heavier than expected, but he carries that weight really well. He is extremely strong and looks like a bear.

  • Alabama center William Vlachos (6-0, 306) had a fat, ugly body. He needs to hit the weight room hard at the next level.

    You're the only douche that says Landry Jones didn't imimprove his stock this week...

    NFL scouts on NFL Network disagree with your ignorance.

    "At Notre Dame, Te'o played in a 4-3 defense."

    Did he really?

    Kuechly built for the pass? Dude is an outstanding run defender, but sucks against the pass. QB's had a 97.5 passer rating against him. He was targeted 55 times and gave up 45rec for close to 450 yards and two TD's. As for Te'o he was not even close to the best defender. Dude is all hype, he is a story from the most famous all hype team ever. The guy is a story and that is it. Kuechly got over drafted but is solid. Te'o is a total nut with a below average skill set, first round. Like scouts have a clue, if they did you would not have so many draft busts.

    The 2013 draft class is weak on the inside of the offensive line, so Quessenberry could easily continue to rise. He has the ability to play guard and center.

    ------

    Really ? Isn't there two potential top 15 Guards and even Warford could sneak into late round 1 consideration .

    Gotta love Jordan Mills fighting until the whistle. Every O-line needs a tough SOB like that to keep plays alive AND frustrate the defense.

    I like this Gillislee kid. I can see him tearing it up in Cincy. With A.J. Green and Marvin Jones demanding safety coverage, he should be able to make some big plays on short passes and edge runs.

    Why go with T. Wilson in the first round? Go take Carr in the 3rd-4th or someone like him and save some higher picks for more important positions.

    This doesn't sound like an interview. It sounds like you were standing next to a reporter and wrote down two things Monte Kiffin said.

    Any news on Brandon Williams? I've been hearing some buzz about him but nothing yet on this site.

    Tony Jefferson in a radio interview dispelled your bogus rumor, saying OU coaches have contacted him. Quotes from his interview:

    "I knew my coaches would never say anything like that. One, because it wasn't true. Two, my coaches aren't like that."

    "My coaches are good guys and we've always had a good relationship."

    Nice "inside information", Waltie.

    It's called a backup QB. There are a lot of rumors they want to get rid of Flynn. Then they'd need a QB in case Wilson gets hurt. Why not add a guy who can at least move the ball up the field?

    Fvck you guy. Tyler Wilson had to carry whatever was left of the team bobby petrino left in dismay. Two concussions this year to sh!tty o-line play (2 walk-ons starting), john l f'ing smith as head coach, and not to mention the worst defense in Razorback history. And he still might be the top quarterback taken. Are people so quick to forget Arkansas finished ranked 5th last year, mostly because of Tyler Wilson. Who likes Tyler Wilson, I sure as hell do.
