Husker Pro Day Today



It's not physical talent holding him back.  Hope he gets it figured out and lasts a while in the league.

 
Knevel...16 reps.

:facepalm:

Pierson-El weighs about 130 pounds LESS than Knevel and still put up 14 reps.  Gawd, Knevel has to be the worst OL we've ever had.  During last season I openly questioned how Knevel kept his starting spot.  Now, with all that has come out with the way Riley handled things, it all makes sense now.

 
Eh, it's not great but it's not the worst we've ever had. Marcel Jones only did 13 reps at his combine, and he was pretty solid. From other schools, Orlando Brown did 14 reps after he weighed in at 345, although it is being talked about as one of the worst recent combine performances. He was fine in college though. A couple years ago a Wisconsin lineman (Havenstein) put up 16 reps, and I didn't hear anything about Wisconsin's S&C or Havenstein's personal effort, plus he was still a second round pick. It's not a good number, but long arms are not a benefit for bench and some taller guys don't do as well as their weight would suggest.

I know Knevel wasn't great, but I'd chalk that up more to playing hurt because Cav "didn't have time to prepare backups to play." I didn't tend to notice him when he was playing healthy, which is better than I can say for some other lineman.
