Thats like compairing Ed Reed to John Lynch or Steve Atwater. At 5'11" and 195 Berry is more in the mold of an NFL FS. Mays on the other hand is built like a LB that is atletic enough to play S. I think he will be utilized as a SS in the NFL if he doesnt outgrow the position before next year. There is the possibility he could be moved to LB or rush DE before all is said and done. Think Im crazy read this.
Mays' workout numbers are ridiculous. He's 6-3, 226 pounds, with 6 percent body fat and ran an electronically timed 40 this spring in 4.32 seconds. He did 26 reps with 225 pounds while also vertical jumping 41 inches and doing a standing broad jump of 11-4. (As evidence in his growth, Mays arrived at USC weighing 215 and posted a vertical jump of 35 inches and a broad jump of 10-0.)
Asked if he's even seen anything that big, move that fast, USC strength coach Chris Carlisle paused for a few moments: "Maybe when I walked by the cheetah cage at the wildlife park." Mays' athleticism actually presents USC with a different kind of issue: a talent with such growth potential that you have to guard against him outgrowing the position. "Our big thing is he could get too big too fast," says Carlisle, who also gushes about the player's work ethic. "He could easily be like his daddy [former NFL defensive lineman Stafford Mays] so we have to make him better without making him bigger because he could be like 260 in a month."
Utilized the right way in the right system both of these guys should be very good pros. I dont think you can go wrong with either one. I know if the texans were lucky enough to get either one of these guys I will be ecstatic. RIGHT NOW either one is better than ANYONE the Texans have ever trotted out at either Safety position.
