The Packers got screwed over by Reynolds and FSU. They withheld aspects of his medical records.
Damn Doc....I'll bet that doesn't happen anymore or players just drop in the draft.
Keon Coleman - WR - FSU

Get him and Jaylen Reed back together
PackersWire put together a pretty nice list of 12 Safeties available in the draft including some play clips

The media sessions typically last around 15 minutes at the combine. "

Get who and J Reed back together? Reed played for Michigan St
Iowa and Michigan State are both cow colleges. Close enough for government work.

He played his first two seasons at Michigan State (with Reed).
Here's a guy I'll be watching closely (blurb from the Packerwire link):
The Texas Tech defensive back has a radar for the football. Over the past three seasons, Taylor-Demerson has picked off 10 passes and recorded 33 pass deflections. He has true centerfield range and a high football IQ with good route instincts. Taylor-Demerson has outstanding closing burst when he attacks downhill against the run.
His click-and-close is very good, though maybe the "icing on the cake" following the Joe Barry years is people noting his great pre-snap communication, aligning the defensive backfield from Day 1 of Shrine Bowl practices.
He can probably line up in the slot or deep and handle whatever receivers bring at him as he has corner experience, as well.
Some news on Rakestraw from an ESPN draft analyst:
Miller was also impressed with Rakestraw's toughness as he shut down some of the best receivers in the upcoming draft while nursing a core muscle injury that he had surgery for in December.
As we roll into the combine, I thought I'd share this post from a friend of mine, talking about what teams are looking for from the various combine drills
I've never seen it explained so well before
****************************************
"Training and being prepped for the combine/pro-day, it's worth going through specifically what each drill is meant to test because I think that sometimes gets skipped over in online discussions."
Which of these tests is most important depends a lot on the player we're talking about and what the team wants to do with them. A power rusher doesn't need as good a 3-cone time as a speed rusher does, because he isn't likely to try to run the arc and thus need the same ankle/hip flexibility.
In terms of Cox / Enagbare, Both Cox and Enagbare test out as guys who generate power and can maintain it over distance, but struggle when asked to bend or drop their weight. It's worth noting that Enagbare has significantly longer arms and did his tests at 258 vs 250 for Cox.
It's not a huge difference, but it shouldn't be ignored because Enagbare also out-performed Cox on the raw explosive power tests that favor lighter athletes. Being more explosive at a heavier weight means there's a multiplicative difference between the two when it comes to their shared biggest strength. "
I'd love to see Giannis 10 yd split, three cone and shuttle.
He'd be a magnificent tight end in the NFL 😆

Except he was a WR.
Little off topic.
When I was in college, Tim Harris came for an autograph session at the athletic store I worked at. I was amazed at how skinny his calves were.
Catts like.....But holy crap did he have some muscular thighs and arms.
There's a story (I think I'm remembering this correctly) from George Plimpton's book Paper Lion about how the coach of the Lions, I think it was Joe Schmidt, said he liked players with big, muscular calves because he thought they had more strength, speed, etc. So, he had a bunch of players line up in shorts to look at their calves and junked his theory when the guy with the skinniest calves was Alex Karras.
I always thought the same thing about Scottie Pippen's calves. And some other NBA players. Like chicken legs. His bicepts are bigger!
this thread is really normalizing my calf fettish, and for that I am grateful
You can finally go public with your Forever Calves site
It’s so liberating to finally be who I really am with x4 withholding judgement
Shit, you guys are taking about lower legs.., aren’t you
disregard my other posts
No judgement here. I have always found you to be a super likeable guy

More fuel for your fetish here...find some alone time and read the article.

As Howard Cosell would say, The Angular One.
I suffer from small calves syndrome. I've spent countless hours doing calf raises of all varieties. They grow, but they sit too high on the leg for it to look like it.
It's like I have an 10" long ankle.
The only answer is tall socks.
BrainDed, gotta focus on horizontal calf raises as opposed to vertical calf raises....

Did he play with Jalen or Jaden?
he was a hero

Yes
from Gute on RB:
“I do think we would always like to have one power, bigger back on the roster for short-yardage situations and playing in the weather and closing out games,” Gutekunst said via Packers.com.
Gutekunst also mentioned, there is something to be said for having a big back to lean on at the end of games when defenses are more tired, resulting in more yards, the chains being moved, and the clock winding down. "
I think the Packers will try to re-sign AJ. And if not him, they’ll look for a big back via FA. I don’t think they’ll look for an immediate replacement via the draft.

A. Jones has always been the better short yardage back between him and Dillon. Assuming Dillon is because of size and still believing that after several years of evidence. Strange.
I ran one for fun before the combine really kicks off tomorrow. Philly offered 50 & 53 plus a 3rd next year for #25, so that seemed too tempting to pass up.
41. OT Kingsley Suamataia - Should test like a freak, undersclassman, experience on both sides, can likely play four positions.
50. LB Edgerrin Cooper - Athletic freak, underclassman
53. S Kamren Kinchens - Underclassman, versatile, super athletic
58. OL Graham Barton - Five-position versatility, likely RG Day 1
88.CB Jarrian Jones - Inside/outside versatility, press skills (played board here a bit with taking before Green)
91. CB Renardo Green - Inside/outside/safety versatility, stones fools in press
126. RB Jaylen Wright - A little linear, but good wheels and decent vision. This is likely a steal.
166. S Dadrion-Taylor Demerson - Super versatile with accolades for leadership and communication
203. LB Edefuan Ulafashio - Super quick and good in coverage
215. Edge Javon Solomon - Twitchy, undersized, may get work at SSLB and be a specialist early
242. DT Kristian Boyd - Small-school run stopper, admittedly played the board here.
250. S Demani Richardson - Good ST type, would have preferred OL Jalen Sundell from NDSU, but didn't see him on the list.
41-91
People are going to be so pissed on day 2...
"Hey look! The Packers are on the clock again! Time to go to our sponsors." 😁
