An Under The Radar OT Prospect

[Delhommey]

 

 

So who is this mystery man? Duvernay-Tardif — who goes by "Larry" — came to McGill as a 253-pound defensive lineman as a freshman before being switched over to the offensive side. Since then, he has settled in at left tackle and become a dominant force. First, CFL teams started paying notice, but now the NFL is all over him, too.

 

Nine NFL teams watched Duvernay-Tardif at a private workout on Thursday and saw a 6-foot-5, 298-pound player turn in 40-yard dash times of 4.94 to 5.08 seconds, post 34 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, turn in a 4.59-second shuttle time and broad jump 9 feet, 6 inches. The teams attending — Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Oakland Raiders, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs and Arizona Cardinals — had to come away impressed. 

 

Those workout numbers would have placed him among the top performers at the NFL scouting combine had Duvernay-Tardif been invited. Only Tennessee's Antonio Richardson (36 reps) did more on the bench among tackles. Only a handful of tackles, including projected first-rounders Greg Robinson of Auburn and Taylor Lewan of Michigan, ran faster 40s. The shuttle time would have been top five. Only Lewan had a better broad jump.

 

From McGill University.

Sounds like an interesting prospect.  I'm sure he's raw as can be in terms of NFL readiness, but interesting none the less.

[doogy]

already been posted, but yes, the man is a beast. 

[Lemory]

D2 prospect? I'm sure we're interested.

[jtnc]

Sounds like another Amini.

Keenan Allen was right under their nose...

[top dawg]

Doesn't sound too under the radar.  

 

We all know if G-man thinks that this dude has "it", he will draft him earlier than most of the NFL expects.

Sigh.

 

Not even the team that stepped up and drafted him was willing to use more than a 3rd, so what magic should Gettleman have had to do something no other NFL team was willing to do and draft him in the second?

 

Not to mention we didn't exactly bomb the pick.

Threads in this and the draft section about the guy.  I hate the Panthers did not send guys up to check him out as his measurables were incredible.

Plus he needed injuries to the two guys starting ahead of him to make an impact

If we weren't at the workout, we probably aren't interested.
