I think Okoye would have to eat Jesse Nading to grow into Pat Williams. You meant Kevin right?

According to the Vikings site.

Kevin Williams 6' 5" 311lbs
Pat Williams 6' 3" 317lbs

According to the Texans site.

Amobi Okoye 6' 2" 306lbs.

So, I meant Pat Williams because it's easier to eat on weight than it is to add height.

Your kidding right there is not a chance pay Williams is 317 lbs. 376 at least

My assumption is that at one time, maybe 1997, Pat Williams was 317lbs. I mean, Casy Hampton was 314lbs at his Combine. The Steelers' web site has him listed at 321lbs, which I'd assume is probably an understatement.

Anyway, my point was the Texans nor anyone else knew what Okoye would eventually become. It's difficult to determine what a 300lbs 19-year old will grow into.

Ok. I see what you are trying to say.

Man, I don't know that a series of numerals have ever made me laugh that hard!

306 lbs? That might be some of the problem. They asked him go sideways and hold a blocker, maybe Bush will get his weight back under 300, and allow him to up field. He did show flashes toward the end of the season.

I rather like DE Paul Kruger from Utah, and wonder how he will do in the Combine.

You think he'll be a 1st round pick? I think there's a good possibility if he runs a 4.65 - 40. 4.25 - Shuttle, and 7.25 - Cone. He looks like Chris Long but Long posted these numbers 4.75, 4.21, 7.02; AND he had a long productive career at UVA. Oh yeah, his dad's Howie.

I really wish I had seen Kruger play more in college to get a better feel for him. I get the fact that he's Mormon and did the mission thing, but it kind of messes up my evaluation. Maybe after seeing him do some drills at Indy, I'll move him up above Ayers.

There you go again Rp. I never said Kruger would be a first round pick, I just said I wonder how he will do in the Combine. After that, he very well could be a first.

[Roy P]

Well, that's ok. Just making an observation.
