Holy Hell this was cool.

Hit registered at 3200 lbs. the highest ever recorded.
Faster reaction time than all other athletes tested, including backs and receivers.
Came off the line fast enough to reach 13.5 mph in only the first 6 yards.

Suh's 40 time is more than adequate for a DT (307lbs) at around 4.9-5.0 range. I think his explosion off the line was damn good though.

Saw that the other day and only dreamt of him wearing Honolulu Blue and Silver and doing that to Brett Favre. Would make my year I think.

I haven't watched much of McCoy. The thing that gets me is they are about the same size. Similar speed. But Suh seems to be much stronger based on combine workouts. Something like 33 reps to 23 reps on the bench. Some people have stated that McCoy has never really put in much work in the gym to better himself.

And looking at his stats, it took him 3 years to come up with equal stats to what Suh did in one season. We'll see I guess.

More reasons why he's the best player in the draft.

Once in a generation player? We'll see...whoever goes ahead of them is going to be a Sam Bowie.

Suh announced today at the Nebraska spring game that he will be donating $2.6 million to the University. $2 million will go to the strength and conditioning program, which is already one of the better facilities around. $600k will go for scholarships with preference given to graduates of his high school in Oregon.

Class Act.

Damn that was sweet.

Please let him be a Lion. We better not pass on him in favor of McCoy.

Sometimes I go crazy thinking about what could have been last year if we would have taken Stafford, Oher, Maualuga with our first three picks and a chance to add Suh to that this year. Would have been stellar talent at 4 positions.

^^ I think the Lions will be very happy with Pettigrew this year since he is healthy. Could give the Lions a potent TE for the first time in a long time.
