Yeah, he lit it up. He ran as fast as some RB's and has 60 pounds or more on them. Not to mention his bench press. He is a freak in his own right.

Yeah, the guy had some crazy numbers that we haven't really seen anything close to in recent history outside of maybe Atkins, the best DT in the league. It's funny because that isn't nearly as impressive as what he did on the field.

Way to go FRO, now you got me even MORE excited about Donald. Wow, I was excited when I thought if him as the best DT in a good overall draft. Now I realize that his combine numbers (granted, not the end-all, be-all) compare favorably with the best DT's over the past several years! Wow! Go Rams
 
He's what Clowney is supposed to be and repped 225 14 more times ,he will do far more for us ,I can see guards deciding the only way to pass block him is to run block him, he'll set guards on their ass if they try to pass set,he'll be on them while they are into their first drop step and launch them on their ass with that punch.
KEEPER
BTW I hope people are patient ,he may not hit his stride early in the year,but by playoff time,yeah baby.
 
Let's not get too ridiculous... :LOL:
I'm serious. There are very few players that come along in the NFL that have either one of these guys' skillsets and when they do come along they usually dominate for a long, long time. Both of these guys are physical freaks with outstanding work ethics. Normally you can take guys like that who did pretty much nothing in college (Dontari Poe, Jason Peters, even Geno Atkins was disappointing after his sophomore year) and turn them into pro bowlers. When you get guys like that who have already dominated the college level, especially a guy as polished as Donald is, those types of guys can take over the league. And we got 2 of them.
