Brockers didn't even actually participate in bench press...

from the above linked article...

What is also being disputed is Brockers forty yard dash, which was posted as a 5.36 while 3 teams reportedly clocked him in the 5.08-5.19 range in the event.

One more puzzling aspect of this particular prospect's posted information is the fact that Michael Brockers has never measured in at less than 6′5″½ and he was somehow registered at a posted 6050 or 6′5″ even. Something that is certain to be dispelled at LSU's pro day on the 22nd of March.

something is screwy here.

Seriously. The Brockers camp is disputing pretty much everything about the Combine.

I have no idea what to make of this.

Well once you declare, you're on your way. Going to be a lot of eyes on his Pro Day. It's like they want to completely discredit any conclusions drawn from the Combine. Hard to believe the NFL was so sloppy, but who knows? When these players come out early now and their stock falls it can be a bigger financial hit than it used to be. Sounds like they are going to have to prove it all on the Pro Day to keep him in the 1st round.

I think that his camp are making excuses for him because Poe had such a good day, and now Brokers isnt the #1 consensus anymore.

I dont like the excuses. He had his chance to lift, but chose not to do it. Teams got blown away by what Poe did, and now he wishes he would have gave it a shot.

Also, why didnt he lift? He is either scared that he wouldnt perform at the level that everyone thought he would, or he is injured. Either - or, it is bad news.

i was wondering how it could be spun negatively on brockers.

thanks for showing how.

I just don't understand how it could be thrown out he did 19 and didn't participate. How does that even happen?
