Forgive me if I'm a little late on the love being given to D'Anthony Smith and Daniel Porter.

Boo can broad jump about twice my height!

Interesting to see how Gil's numbers differed from the numbers Tech released, especially the 40 times.

Also, I keep hearing that Boo will probably not go in first round. Whether he does or not, I think he’s helped himself in the past five months or so. He’s at least given himself a chance at Round One.

The biggest negative Boo has had to overcome is the perception that he doesn’t do enough to fight through double teams. In that respect, I think he did a much better job in the second half of the season, particularly in the Boise and LSU games.

He had excellent practices during Senior Bowl week and got very positive mentions on the NFL Network for three consecutive days leading up to the game. At times, he dominated in one-on-one drills and looked like a LB in a DT’s body. During the game itself, where blitzing wasn’t allowed, he did a really good job of creating havoc in the middle. In limited time, he deflected a pass; bullrushed an OL into the QB, which created an incomplete pass; and hurried a QB, which caused an interception.

Then at Tech’s Pro Day, he put up the numbers Gil Brandt mentioned. Compare them to the numbers Glenn Dorsey put up a couple of years ago at LSU’s Pro Day. Boo is taller and heavier but put up better numbers in every category tested last week.

At LSU's Pro Day, Dorsey was 6-1 ½, 297. He ran a 5.12 in the 40, a 4.80 in the short shuttle, a 7.52 in the 3 cone, posted a 25 ½ inch vertical jump, broad jumped 8’4”, and put up 27 reps in the bench.

...and 3 times Jimmy Watson's height.


Hope he get drafted by the World Champion Saints!
