You wouldn't call world class athletes freak athletes? you're a tough guy to impress! haha

RAVENS/WIZARDS/ORIOLES · 09-01-2009, 09:39 AM

Haloti Ngata is a freak. He is 350+ and plays coverage!!!!

Also that Larry Allen video was RIDICULOUS!!! I don't understand how he caught that guy

wonderbredd24 · 09-01-2009, 10:08 AM

Although injuries derailed his career, Courtney Brown was a freak... he had a faster 40 time than Peter Warrick

FloridaSkinzFan · 09-01-2009, 11:18 AM

FTW Fenikz FTW

Mr. Stiller · 09-01-2009, 09:16 PM

Anyone Mention Tommie Harris?

He weighed in something like 6'2 310lbs and ran a 4.62 Combine and has been one of the best DT's in the league consistently.

And if I had to pick a player on my team?

Lawrence Timmons.

6'1 245lbs, and has the ability to beat Holmes/Parker in 40 yard sprints.

His pure speed in coverage has allowed him to cover some of the "Bigger" #3's in the league.. Not to mention his pass rushing ability.

65 Tackles, 5 Sacks, 3 PDefs and 1 INT.

Not bad for playing 43% of the Snaps last year.

FUNBUNCHER · 09-01-2009, 09:43 PM

Tommie Harris used to be a freak.
He lost his freak status once he blew out his knees. :(

fischbowl · 09-01-2009, 11:08 PM

Ellis "The Sex" Lankster, heard of him much?

Halsey · 09-01-2009, 11:16 PM

Michael Turner

He weighs like 245, is built like a bowling ball and yet he's earned the nickname 'the burner'.

Ed Reed is freak from the neck up, athletically, there are dozens of DBs equal to or superior than Reed.

TACKLE · 09-01-2009, 11:45 PM

Mike Sellers is a beast.

edit: Holy ****. I didn't even realize that he weighs like 275.

I agree his gets by on his mind and insticts not athletic ability.
