Just curious to see if all these rumors about him are really going to effect NFL teams decision to draft him. I'm not sure if any of you have seen the pictures of him coming out of High School before his injury. He was HUGE!!! However, he has never failed a drug test at USC....Would you draft him at 17 if LB is our need (assuming we don't get lewis or scott?)
I would definitely draft him at #17...the kid is a workaholic and just a ridiculous athlete. From what I've heard, he will be taken right around our pick at #17, if not a little before, or a little after. His stock won't go down because he has never tested positive. Apparently a lot of the NFL coaches love him because he watches everything he puts into his body and is a nutrition phene.
1. I truly believe he juiced in HS 2. What that means for him now Im not sure. 3. Unlike Gholston this kid knows the game of football and thats why i would draft him. 4. I dont want the Jets to draft him
I agree with the sentiment that he did not use steroids while he was at USC. Whether he did or not in High School, I'd like to assume not because he was such a talent at a school like Bergen Catholic, I have no clue. With college testing the way it is, it'd be very hard to get away with it, and if I'm not mistaken USC let some players go a couple years back for juicing. As for him as a player, absolutely I'd take him at 17, he can play inside or out, rush the passer, and is a very hard worker.
No actually i just saw the pictures (after i posted the first statement). But they do say a lot. A few of my boys went to the same HS as him and it was not secret half that football team was on juice. For what its worth that was 4-6 years ago. And from what ive heard he is an absolute animal in the gym. So i could be absolutely wrong. But if u ask me i say he juiced.
Your pics aren't coming up, but I'm pretty sure i know what pictures they are. The first is him in late HS, while flexing his muscles carrying these gigantic barrels, and the second is him while recovering from an injury. It's really no surprise that a player might not have exactly the same body type after an injury. It's quite bold to say it's because of steroids, and not simply backing off his intensive workout routine.
Im not saying he did juice....However, if you take a close look at the pics there is a good chance he did....Most people don't get man boobs like that once they stop working out....definitely not normal
The man boobs are a side affect of taking testosterone(one of the side effects is raised estrogen levels). A dumb roid for a kid to take, the later pick looks like he switched to GH.
don't know if he juiced.gotta say no until there's a positive drug test.that whole innoccent til guilty rule.i've been calling for him at 17 since jan1.if we don't get scott(i don't wnat ray ray)he's gotta be the pick
The cartoon character physique does suggest roids or some other PED His heavy, heavy workout routine does as well. Roids are great to help you recover and lift hard again very soon. So my guess is yes.
Thar be boobs, matey. He should have gone to Africa and breast fed babies with that chick actress. Okay, he's off my list for taking at 17.
