Brock Lesnar

[craneboy]

that guys an animal, i hope he makes it in the NFL

[SickNasty]

i thought he was a wrestler, what would he play d-tackle he is probably slow as ****

[IrISShEagles]

Its like Hogan as an actor. Just because you can do one thing well, doesnt mean you can do whatever you want. He's good at what he does, wrestling. There are plenty of 300 pound animals.

[dalcowbag]

who did he play for in college?? was he even good?

[IrISShEagles]

I forgot Hogan was great in Suburban Commando

[qccat]

how now the undertaker was in there too! now there's an actor! So really, Brock is tryin to play football?? can someone give me the when/what/where/how/ and why? please

[IrISShEagles]

Lesnar was an All-American football player at Northern State University as long as a wrestler. When he graduated a few NFL teams scouted and contacted him about tryouts, but he decided to continue wrestling which eventually brought him to the WWE or WWF whatever you want to call it. He recently ran a 4.7 - 40 Yard Dash, which impressed some NFL scouts, so now he is debating whether or not to put wrestling on hold. I hope that helps you out.

i thought Lesner was a all-american wrestler at Minnesota. Actually, i'm pretty **** sure!

You're right, sorry but all of the other information is correct.

[goodtobeapimp]

Can you post a link stating brock's numbers or stats? Or any information on his tryouts,40's anything? I personally dont believe hes going to play football at all,but he's way more agile then most people think. There's a lot more to football then size so I guess we'll see.

[IrISShEagles]

I found a site that only posted his best 40 time, which was a 4.7 I think it was http://www.wrestlingcaricatures.com , but I am not sure. he's 6'5'' 295 right now. Ill do a little more research to see his lifts.

[IrISShEagles]

Ok, I just did a quick search on yahoo and I found that these are his personal bests that are recorded.

40 Y/D = 4.71
Bench = 475 lbs
Squat = 695 lbs

Those were all the lifts that were listed. I hope that helped.

[qccat]

wow, well good luck to him. he's a successful guy

[eacman65]

i would like to see more info on the whole football thing, im not sure if i believe this post

[IrISShEagles]

its true, type in brock lesnar football in any search engine

[eacman65]

yeah but is he really trying out for the pros

[IrISShEagles]

Yea, he is going to try to..I dont know for who or when but he has expressed it and has done some tests for scouts

[eacman65]

**** thats crazy didnt know he was that good

[Money Boss Hustla]

He will need to take it down a notch...he's now built for show...not for playing 4 quarters of non stop action.

[Duma]

last time i checked a 475 bench for a guy his size is far from impressive....am i wrong?

[eacman65]

yeah that is true i bet he's not in football shape

[Duma]

well then get on a strength building roid quick before u attempt to make an NFL roster...im sure he knows if and when he makes a roster then the steroid testing will begin. NFL steroid testing is very stringent...the most stringent of any sport....caveat emptor BROCK

[qccat]

somehow those guys get by with it, drugs that is, they have a way....dont know what it is, but there are many that are NOT natural

Several comments -

He's been on Sports Center a few times this week. He's been trying out with Miami, Indy, and a few more teams coming up. He's expected to get a spot somewhere.

He hasn't played football since his junior year in HS.

He's not on steroids . He was the NCAA champ (not "just" All-American) at the heavyweight division in wrestling. He says he's been tested almost weekly since highschool and is not afraid of any drug tests in the NFL.

If any of you know ANYTHING about this guy - and not just WWE stuff - you'll know that conditioning is NO concern for this guy. He very well could be the best conditioned athlete in the whole league. Hell, he used to run 5 miles a day with a telephone pole on his shoulders. The only thing of concern for him is technique - and he admits he has lots to learn.

He's expected to get a look at defensive end for whatever team decides to pick him up.

cool, good info. I wish him the best. Would this be the first athlete to go FROM wrestling TO football instead of vice versa? Like Goldberg, the rock, Farooq....I think this might be a first if he succeeds.

[IrISShEagles]

Where did you see he hasnt played football since his junior year in high school, because I got different info. Yea, a 495lb bench isnt that impressive, but I dont think he was looking for strength, it seems hes more interested in building himself into a freak, which doesnt require THAT much strength

[qccat]

IMO a 495 pound bench is just fine and will do him just fine in the pro's. there are PLENTY of pros that dont even come close to that much. Take julius peppers for example. when he came out of college, he did 225 23 times. that and he had about a max of 365. Now he benches around 435. Great improvement but still 60 pounds off of that 495. Success is gonna be more based on his ability, and if he gets that down, that 500 pound bench will surely help

[goodtobeapimp]

Last time I checked there wasn't a bench sitting on the 50 yard line. Football is a game of skill first. Everything else is just add ons and determines greatness from average.

[IrISShEagles]

Great Points

It was part of the story on him on ESPN.

[Football_Bill]

225 is all that is tested at tryout camps for bench anyway, I am sure he can push that for a good number reps.

[eacman65]

225 is the heaviest they use at any combine

[craneboy]

he has also worked out for the cheifs

All of the info that badman posted is 100% accurate. I dare you to try to find another genetic freak with the tenacity of Lesnar. This guy has mad ability just is extremely raw as far as football knowledge is concerned. I saw him workout with the Colts just recently and he obviously has natural talent just is not yet polished. Don't be surprised if he gets a summer camp offer soon from a number of teams. Would you pass on a 280lber who runs a 4.6-4.7 40, a 36" vertical leap, and a kill at will attitude? Trust me this guy is a f*cking animal

just curious when you saw him work out with the Colts, I know a guy is up there now trying to make the team and has said nothing about Brock Lesnar. Just curious how this is staying out of the press as it is

[craneboy]

i have no doubt he will make a team. he is not expecting to be a starter right away

[IrISShEagles]

i hope he makes it

this isnt staying out of the press. Brock has been on ESPN for the last week or more. He was the ESPN.com headline yesterday also. They have video of his workouts and a number of write ups on him. He has worked out with a couple of teams thus far and plans for others soon.

[Tork]

He will be on a practice team for at least one year and dont be suprized if you see him in NFL Europe before you ever see him put the plastic on for the NFL in a reagular season game. Dallas took a look at him when he did a work out in Arizona, I wouldnt mind him being singed here.
