Fairley will NOT bench press

Wow, I don't like the sound of that at all... he certainly didn't seem to be suffering from a shoulder injury when he was swimming around offensive linemen in the nat'l championship game?

This makes me wonder if he's been sitting around eating donuts instead of preparing for the combine.

I'd say it's not good for him either way.

If his injury isn't all that severe, some might question his attitude and/or commitment.

If his injury is indeed severe enough that this is warranted, then execs will start pondering "just how bad is that shoulder?"

Wouldn't necessarily expect him to drop him (especially not if he takes part in Auburn's pro day) but execs take a lot of "mental notes" about this kind of thing.

Anybody remember Sapp putting up 225 only 16 times. He turned out okay.

Teams will want him to lift at some point. He might be trying to improve his reps before pro day. Or private workouts.

Or he might be scared. Or injured.

I think that covers it.

    • I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.
    • Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
    • The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
