i think they just put it in at the RCA. I was watchinga game when Manning broke the record against San Diego and they all had on basketball shoes on for the turf. I have played on the astro turf and that shit is fast but just concrete when u hit the ground. the field turf feels very slow and seems like it absorbs all of ur footing making it a good playing surface but not for testing purposes.Quote:

8.75-9 on speed, 7.75 on quickness, 9-9.25 on size, 10 on strength. haha worst case he gets a 8.75. and could get as high as a 9. he did very wellQuote:

leaving early tommorrow morning
let me know how things went.
not as well as i wanted them to. funny thing is i had a 1.57 10, 2.82 1-20 and a 2.0 20-40 hahah. if that aint some shit. i had one of my fastest 10s and fastests 20-40 but my 10-20 ****ed me. i ended up with my best beinga 4.8 or 4.81. other things i didnt do so well either. 1-on-1s i did alot better and had one of few PBUs of the day. i only got worked on one in and out and it wasnt that bad. drills i did well and looked athletic. all in all i am proud of being one of only 15 lbs and most of them being OLBs. i did alright compared to my peers at inside. no1 spoke with any scouts after so that kind of sucks. but we wills ee what happens. i plan on getting a video camera to tape my workouts to send out along wityh letters ect ect to market myself. i need to put on size for sure and get my 40 time down which i know is possible.Quote:

1. thinking about an agent. everyone there had one.Quote:

3. get back on a lifting schedule.
4. get a video camera and start taping my workouts.
5. when the time comes i will write out letters. send my profile, letter, dvd of film and workouts to all the pro teams.
yea i am looking into where i want to go with my training as of right now. i definately want to incorporate explosive lifts but i also need to put on some size again and get heavier bc my size was a big knock on me.
i thought the semi pro season was almost over.. yes start training but take a 1-2week off. why tape workouts? why add more size if you only run 4.8 get faster then add size.Quote:

the thing is i am faster. i just peaked way too early. i was clocked by a track coach at alot faster just alot earlier. so technically i am faster i just have grown tired which is the samething as going through a football season. i had been training 20+ weeks of lifting and around 13-16 weeks of running. most of that time i was doing multiple agilities, drills, ect ect. just like i would be duringa season. as a season goes on u get a lil slower. my size is really what hurts me. i just need to plan my workouts alot better.
Bro #2 is most important I think. Scouts want to see how you carry that athletic ability to the field. How long ago did you play college ball? Go see if you can get as much old film as possible. I also hear there are some good opportunities to play football in Europe (Not NFLE). From what I understand everything is paid for you just dont earn a salary. If you can play semi-pro I would do it for sure, polish those skills. Besides you never know when you might get a call from a team in August that needs roster spots filled cause of injuries! Keep workin hard!Quote:

yea its called ueromatch. definately an alright service. i really havent looked into it completely yet. i played 2 years of college ball and have only small amounts of film bc i was on the move from school to school and didnt get settled.Quote:
