LB Measurements

[Aloysius]

It looks like nfl.com has posted the official combine measurements for the linebackers.

Here are the heights and weights of some notable guys:

• Aaron Curry - 6'2", 254 lbs.
• Rey Maualuga - 6'2", 249 lbs.
• Brian Orakpo - 6'3", 263 lbs.
• James Laurinaitis - 6'2", 244 lbs.
• Clint Sintim - 6'3", 256 lbs.
• Brian Cushing - 6'3", 243 lbs.
• Clay Matthews - 6'3", 240 lbs.
• Mortty Ivy - 6'1", 248 lbs.
• Jasper Brinkley - 6'2", 252 lbs.

Where's JL Aloy?

[Aloysius]

Ha. I'll add him to the list.

[Aloysius]

Maualuga weighed 254 lbs. at the Senior Bowl, where scouts said he looked a little out of shape. Brinkley weighed 262 at the East-West practices.

It's kind of funny that people once thought Curry was too small to play in a 3-4 defense, and he ends up weighing more than the two big thumper ILB's.

I am liking this guy more and more. His weight is up near the Merriman/Ware range.

Orakpo is steadily moving up to the top of my wish list. Let's see some drills!

Curry sure does have prototypical size.

Being a long time Browns homer I have rose colored glasses about Matthews. Love to see him be available for us to grab.

Just a simple question...Why? He won't play in a 3~4 In my Opinion. Mathews is a 4-3 guy.
