Here's a link to Cody Pearcy's Pro Day workout video in Montgomery,Alabama.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQIkjE3rAWI


Pearcy looked to be about the only White person there other than the one coach. It's a reversal of how things were in football in the 1950s and early '60s, when a black player was a rarity, and had to be very good to get a shot and was often a better athlete than the sea of White players around him. Now it's the black players milling around watching someone more athletic than them excel at one event after another. The difference is that the NFL was interested in finding black players and playing them in the early days when the league was desegregating; but now we've had 30 years of the NFL resegregating around blacks and an ideology of black athletic supremacy and there remains zero interest in having a level playing field for Whites at most positions. Pearcy has but a very tiny chance of ever playing in the NFL.

Word is former University of Arizona wideout David Douglas may have gotten himself drafted with a great pro day. An excerpt:

One sleeper prospect who may have earned himself a draftable grade based on his workout was wide receiver David Douglas. The 6-1, 205 pound Douglas was overshadowed throughout his career by Criner but timed faster (4.40-4.46) and surprised scouts with his crisp route-running and soft hands despite the ugly weather.

"The other receiver was pretty good. He had a strong workout. He may have moved himself into the 7th round Monday."


This is such a typical story. An over-hyped black player, Juron Criner, gets every chance to excel over a player who he is athletically inferior to. Douglas has ideal height and speed coupled with "crisp route-running" and "soft hands" so why was he totally underutilized for 4 years at U of A? A melanin deficiency is the only plausible answer.

That video says it all. Yet you have guys like Matt Jones who are not wanted with countless others not even given the chance to play ever. The Caste System is very strong. We have to continue the fight! Thanks for that eye popping video.

great workout!

Stanford TE Coby Fleener timed in the 4.45 range during the school's Thursday Pro Day.

The time is unofficial and every team will go by their own stopwatches, but for a 6'6/247 pound tight end that is outstanding. Fleener is still recovering from a high-ankle sprain suffered in Stanford's Fiesta Bowl but posted a 37" vertical jump. With the tight end position generating plenty of mismatches in the NFL, Fleener is locked in as a first-round selection. He is an excellent receiver but will need to work on his blocking inline.

typical rotoworld spin. Notice how they acted much different when guys like Kendall Wright ran a 4.45 "we knew he was a 4.4 guy all along from the film, he just had a bad combine" (4.61 at the combine at 5'10 under 200 pounds). Its getting to the point to when all of the dwfs favorite affletes run slow times at the combine they say they don't believe in the "official" times....yes they put quotations around them. I wonder why Danny Coale didn't get the same treatment, I know he can crack 4.5, same with Riley Cooper the other year.

Draftdaddy's been busy giving updates on tons of underrated white athletes trying to make it into the affirmative action league...


Ex-Stanford tight end Coby Fleener might be a first round lock after a dazzling performance at Pro Day.

Former Duke tight end Cooper Helfet hopes working with Peyton Manning will pay off on draft weekend.

Former Sacred Heart receiver/tight end Rich Rossi (4.42/40) and ex-New Haven linebacker Charlie Hatchett led the way at Yale's Pro Day.

Tight end Matt Veldman was the top attraction for N.F.L. scouts at North Dakota State's Pro Day and he did not disappoint.

***Former Vanderbilt defensive end Tim Fugger, who could project as a 3-4 outside linebacker in the N.F.L., plays his way into scouts' attention.

Defensive end Tim Fugger, who might project at outside linebacker in the N.F.L., ran a 4.57 at Vanderbilt's Pro Day.

Despite his lack of experience on the field in college, athletic 6'6", 305 pound offensive lineman Mike Garrity still hopes to play in the N.F.L.

Closer look at former Northern Illinois linebacker Pat Schiller, who hopes to sneak into the latter rounds of the draft.

All-Ivy free safety Steve Peyton and quarterback Kyle Newhall-Caballero had solid workouts at
Brown University's Pro Day.

The Dekalb Daily Chronicle looks at ex-Northern Illinois linebacker Alex Kube, who hopes to play safety in the N.F.L.

Vandy had a pretty good defense last year, and Tim Fugger was a significant factor in that. He should be Drafted.

Haven't seen much of him but he has good size and excellent speed for a DE.. Funny how he had 8 sacks in the SEC but I can hardly recall hearing his name mentioned all year by ESPN

much like the SEC's best pass rusher this year, Arkansas' Jake Bequette (10 sacks, 5 forced fumbles), Vandy's Fugger didn't get nearly enough recognition by the "experts" in the media. it should come as no surprise, as they both suffer from that skin condition that prevents them from being "explosive" and so on.

[h=1]Claiborne gives birth to a four on the Wonderlic[/h]

The NFL has kept the Wonderlic results under tighter wraps than usual this year. Or maybe the media has had enough other things to keep itself occupied.
Regardless, the first eye-opening score has leaked from the 2012 edition of the 50-question Wonderlic test. Per multiple league sources, LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne scored a four.
Yes. A four. Out of 50.
Six years ago, quarterback Vince Young initially got a six. Re-scoring of the test bumped it to a seven. A next-day Mulligan moved it to 13.
Finally, Young has someone at whom he can point and laugh.
The joke, however, continues to be on anyone who thinks that all college athletes are also students. Plenty of them aren’t. They’re minor-league football players who have no choice but to wait at least three years until they get a shot at joining the NFL.
How else can anyone explain a person who presumably has found a way to avoid failing out of college getting such a low score on a basic intelligence test?
And that gives rise to a more important question. What did LSU actually do to keep Claiborne from failing out of school?

Im sure this has been discussed here in the past but I just was doing some research on the Clemson football team. Their athletic site actually posts the majors of each athlete. Out of 110 players 25 of them were Sociology majors. Twenty-Three of the 25 majors were black. Go figure. Most likely none of these guys is going to make in the NFl. They are just overrated guns for hire.

EGriz.com has posted videos of former Montana cornerback Donny Lisowski having a great workout at Pro Day

Sub 4.4 speed.. Yet still a backup CB and special teams player for the Grizz.

Black receivers can be fat, slow and lazy and still be prospective first round draft picks. But we know that Big Sports is a color blind meritocracy with no racial agenda, just like all the other institutions in U.S. society.

Aaron Wilson of Scout.com is "hearing" that South Carolina WR Alshon Jeffery is down to 217-220 pounds and intends to run in the 4.5s at the Combine. The 217-220 range would be ideal for Jeffery, and running in the 4.5s could save him from the draft-day plunge projected by some after rumors surfaced that he weighed 249 and was running 4.88 as of January. "We'll see," allows Wilson. Jeffery is the most polarizing wide receiver in the 2012 draft class.

In addition to being fat, slow and lazy, Jeffery is also a Rhodes Scholar candidate, as evidenced by his marvelous 10 on the Wonderlic. I foresee Alshon dropping all the way to the second round of next week's National Affirmative Action Football League Draft.

I'm curious -- if showing a moron's level of intelligence isn't "something that will hurt Jeffery's stock," then why give the test at all? Why not simply proclaim all blacks to be geniuses to go along with their loose hips, limitless athletic upside, boundless charisma, megawatt smiles and other magical qualities?

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that South Carolina WR Alshon Jeffery scored a 10 on his Wonderlic exam. It's the same score as A.J. Green a year ago, and not something that will hurt Jeffery's draft stock. As you might expect, NFL scouts have mixed opinions on Jeffery. "He is a gifted, gifted player," one said. "He's a move-the-chains type. He knows how to play." Observed another scout, "I don't think he has a driving passion ... He plays the game really hard but he doesn't do anything else hard. I don't think he trains well. He's soft."
