Rey Maualuga injured... and so are other top prospects!
-
Before he got hurt, Maualuga put up what may have been the worst broad jump of any linebacker at the combine (8'11") and ran an unofficial 4.83 40 (he suffered the injury while decelerating).
I have a hard time understanding how all of this was a positive for him. Maybe the preexisting injury makes it less of a negative, but it only fuels concerns about Maualuga's preparation & conditioning. He showed up to the Senior Bowl in poor shape, didn't go to one of the pre-combine training facilities, and was convinced/forced by Pete Carroll to switch agents only a week ago.
He'll need to have a great pro day to clean up this mess.

I think that this was a guy who was way over-hyped by the media. I have seen nothing in film or performance so far to justify the hype. I would pass on this guy.

these guys are not hurt. the season has been over for a while now. they just are using some falsifed injuries to mask there poor performance in certain areas. its funny how the top guys are always hurt, but the third, fourth and fifth round guys are healthy.

Yeah, I'm sure these guys want to bust their humps training, show up to the Combine, fake injury and possibly lose tons of $$$ in the process.

Um they would hurt there draft chances more if they said they were healthy, and ran poor times. By saying they are injured they can say hey look I ran this injured, thats respectable, draft me and I'll show you what I can do healthy.
Why is it just the top picks are always hurt, answer that.

Then why even say you're going to participate or even show up altogether? Not everyone does.

They aren't.

Funny how Craptree is said not to be the fastest receiver in the class, and he has an "injury". The guys injury wasn't a big deal during the season.
Lets face it. Craptree is being talked about for a few reasons. #1 there is no real all-star, home run WR in this class. This class does not have a physical phenom like Calvin Johnson. #2 He got big off a trick Special Teams play against Texas.. whooptiedooooo. #3 he isn't fast, isn't big, and is going to be a average WR in the NFL who just had the advantage of playing in a spread offense, wait a very spread offense with 4-5 WR's out all time, facing man on man coverage against week DBs. Any NFL caliber, besides the Browns DBs, are going to have a field day making this guy look like the bust he is.
He is the Reggie Bush of WR's. All hype and is NOT going to perform at the next level.
If you want him, keep on chanting for Craptree. But this is the 4th time I've made it public he is going to bust, so talk to me next Dec. when the season is coming to an end, and Craptree is going to be a bust. Then go ahead and say he will be good next year, and even three years from now, because he is average at best. I'd spend a late 2nd, early 3rd round pick on him, but not a Top 10 first.

prove me wrong. Do some research. Find out the percentage of Top 10 draft prospects who are injured during the combine, and the ones who aren't going in the first round.
Then find out the percentages of who was a bust in the NFL, and happened to be injured at the combine. Look at those numbers vs the players who have been successful, and just happened to not be injured at the combine.
Here i'll help you out.. the article has already been published within the last 3 years, do a google search, then tell me Horseshit.
