Dan Alexander was an interesting player. Man could he run for a guy 250 pounds.

 

He fumbled too damn much. Somebody used to tell me it was because his biceps were too big.

 

He also got hurt alot, he had like 2% body fat.

Alexander entered the 2001 combine as a fullback. Measured 6' even, 257 lbs. 4.42 in the 40. An absolute freak, great straight ahead runner.

 

As far as Teamer, anyone have any insight as to why he is pondering leaving. I know he has had some injury problems.

Didn't the Titans cut him because he wouldn't play FB? I thought that is what was being said back in the day.

Just a few awesome quotes from the Turner article. :horns2

 

But Turner, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound defensive end prospect, chose Nebraska.

 

"It came down to a hard decision, but I just went with my heart," Turner said.

 

As for turning down Tennessee?

 

"I mean, your hometown state," Turner said. "That's hard."

 

Flatt believes Nebraska defensive line coach John Blake had a lot to do with Turner's decision.

 

"I think he did a great job," Flatt said of Blake.

Turner said the coaches, the facilities and a "crazy amount of fan support" impressed him the most on his visit

 

"From the time I stepped out of the car," Turner said, "it was like a movie."
