They should put him at TE. He looks faster than Rudolph at this point.

I thought Rudolph was going to be in for a big year - but Diggs and Thielen have been so spectacular it's cut into his production.

I'd love to see us get an Ertz type player in an upcoming draft or FA period. Even an Ertz Lite.

I think an upgrade at TE (someone who can stretch it a bit) would really put the offense over the top.

The obvious conclusion on a fan board would be

”Why don’t we have him running back kicks ?”

:p

I was watching that with some friends and we were joking how slow he looked, but I said, "I guarantee he's faster than any guy in this room."

Even the linemen on a pro team are freak athletes.
Somebody said that at the bar I was watching as well. I agreed. I see he's listed as having run a 5.04 forty time. That is moving for a 320 pound dude! He looked damn smooth running too, not like some of those blobs we see sometimes. It was still a little funny to see a big guy running that far - doesn't happen often.

I'm now genuinely curious what I'd clock. I guess I could find out. Just as easy as going to the track with a friend and a stopwatch...

Last time I did that I ran a 4.65 40. That was 10 years ago when I was 21. At the end as I was slowing down after finishing I stumbled and layed out on the track. My wrist still gets sore to this day because of that. I also did 225 bench reps and hit 13. That was my mini-combine and the best shape of my life. I am only 5-7 lbs. heavier than then but significantly weaker and slower. I probably max out at 155 lbs on bench and run 5 second 40.
