17 reps puts him second lowest on the bench press
25" puts him around second to lowest Vert Jump

6'2" 261 puts him on the short and light side in comparison.

So he is shorter, lighter, weaker, and has average speed and quickness.

I was expecting to see better numbers from the Co-MVP on defense of the mighty SEC.

I am a little surprised to see his stats. His play last season was stellar. I wonder if he might be this years Vontaze Burfict.

Scott Fujita wrote an quite interesting piece on all of this too.

Jarvis Jones put up similarly unimpressive numbers too.

Its odd, the SEC sack leader has rarely been successful in the NFL, and I have no earthly freakin' idea of why that is.

Just curious.. wasn't Derrick Thomas the SEC sack leader his junior year at Bama? Or was it Cornelius B? ... they stick out in my mind when it comes to sacking the QB in college and pros.
