Elijah McGuire

I'm sure he and his agent have their reasons, but the biggest value of the Senior Bowl is the week leading up to it. Practice time and the countless interviews with coaches and organizational people. The game is basically irrelevant in comparison.

Elijah McGuire earned an opportunity that very few players get, and it could help his draft stock skyrocket.

Pretty brutal. But they're brutal on everyone. Fournette, considered one of the best RBs coming out got hammered too.

____ them scouts

Laughable. Eli's going to be a steal for somebody. No doubt.

[facelessjonmoon]

Meh. He will put on a show tomorrow in the drills

Can't wait to see what his 40 time is

[wcd35]

They weighed in and did bench press so far. Even though it's probably one of the more pointless combine drills, he put up a solid 15 reps. Real stuff starts tomorrow

[DaddyCajun]

Hud did 25 reps with the 225# Bench Press, BUT can't move like Eli, or catch, or be elusive, or etc.

Dude can call off tackle runs like nobody's business though

That analysis is as much an indictment on how he was developed and coached the last 4 years as anything. That's indicative of our struggles the last few years. The failure to develop the offensive athletes we have...to improve their skills year over year. We essentially used his athletic ability to carry us, hurt his foot, and sent him to the combine not much better developed than we found him. I am pulling for him to overcome that, because he's a warrior.
