Blood, Sweat N' Tears... taking my shot at the NFL

[jdflex23]

Well there are two stages to this combine, athletes who do well at this first event get invited to the supplemental combine. Its basically a repeat combine, with a greater volume of NFL scouts, and it covered on NFL.com, possibly espn as well. From there, you could be contacted by any nfl team.. that would be anything from practice squad or active roster... the idea is to get invited to training camp.. everything would go from there.

Just curious, if you get selected at the combine what happens from there? What kind of salary can you expect?

Good man, I can and have played pretty much every position at one point... my ball carrying vision is excellent. Realistically, defensively I feel my skills would be weak at that level with exception to maybe saftey. I struggle some in man coverage.. I have just always been fast enough it didn't really matter. I would feel more comfortable as a return specialist and maybe used like a Danny Woodhead or Piercy. Gotta do well at my combine first. I'm just looking to take a shot man, its a long shot at best but at least I am trying.. thats much more than most can say!

it sort of like... if you don't do anything with your life.. you won't get anything out of it...


if you literally just sit on the couch.. you WONT make it into the NFL.. so the answer "no" at the end of the trial, you already have...

now get up, go out there and make it a "YES"

[jdflex23]

Sounds good!! I like this!!

11/21/12

Days till combine: 108

Training: Deadlifts

Deads 315x3 + Chins BWx10

I have no clue how many rotations I did.. At least 12-15, about two mins rest.. I was in a new gym so I was a little out of my element.

11/23/12

Days till Combine: 106

Training: Metcon

Warm up 1000m Rows
Fran: 6:59

Then there was today, there are highs and lows to training.. Today was a low.. at least in my head.. Felt terribly out of shape, almost puked. My lower back is still trashed from deads on Wednesday.. I still need to get my sqauts in for the day but if my minds not right I might just take an extra day off this week.

Have you heard of semi pro football OP? You might want to give that a try first. Alot of former pro players, or college players that didn't get picked up by a pro team will play that for a year to work on their skills.

What's your 40 time?

[jdflex23]

Thanks bro!
