Saw that and was wondering the same thing, you'd think he would go to the combine in tip top shape.

yep, monster, i dunno why ppl are doubting him, just ebcause he was hurt last year

 

[SteelersPride]

meanwhile cook has off the field question marks galore, and isnt your typical b/w the the tackle runner.....

theres another back that i may like better than cook depending where he goes, actually 2

Fournette declines the bench...guy is plummeting in my opinion

Cant soak for anyone else, but I can easily tell you why I'm doubting him

The game film Stomp posted, not a highlight reel, but game film..he's not some otherworldly stud, that's easy to see.
Reporting to the combine overweight, and refusing to bench.

When showcasing yourself for a job, these are massive red flags both as an athlete, and as a person showing how much heart and desire they have

Lmao..umm yea

Guy has things to prove to teams and refusing to do so speaks volumes

Unfortunately he has had a few nagging injuries during college. He is still a stud of a talent but he could be a monumental bust too

I am pretty sure that he announced he wouldnt bench a couple of weeks ago

i havent seen a report to say hes overweight, i saw 240, that doesnt mean hes overweight,

foreman was 233, hood 232

hell clement is 5-10 and came in at 220

perine 5-11 233

are they overweight?

 

[TREFF]

Those are all what, 2-3 lbs different than their listed weight? Fournette is right about ten..and he himself says he's overweight..claiming extra water weight, which means he hasn't been training..at best
..that's everywhere, if you haven't seen it...I dunno what to say

5 lbs different for fournette

 

[SteelersPride]

5 lbs different for fournette

also, you do realize, the harder you train, lifting wise , the more water weight you retain?

 

[Trudem]

Its Combine time!

Well I definitely prefer Cook to Fournette. Athletically fournettes a freak but I don't think he's the better RB.

Honestly I think it comes down to where they go. Fournette will be a stud somewhere like Carolina

I don't know man. I'm not the biggest fan of fournette and there are critcisms you can make about him (lack of lateral agility) but this seems like reaching. I don't know how it's "easy" to see he's not a stud. And I haven't seen anybody concerned about his weight really. For 1 other RBs have been that big before and 2 he's an athletic freak. Being 240 isn't a problem if you're running a 4.40 forty. I'm also not questioning his strength. No he didn't bench but I really couldn't care less.
