"Discus thrower" might be useful...if the NFL decides to have a
discus-throwing contest to decide the winners of regular-season games
that are tied after the overtime period.

Discus throwers have uncommonly good upper body strength and
flexibility. Sounds like decent OL project.

There are plenty more SS/FS/CB players out there. The Niners will get
their share.

Signed to be a DL John. Size strength speed fit that. Who knows, he might
make a contribution in the future. He is only 21.

Me too. Still think that is their weakest area. Maybe Rogers and Asomugha
have a little left in their tanks.

Being a discus thrower, he has immense upper body strength, plus good
flexibility. His legs are huge and all he needs is some technique. He
could be a big surprise.
