As reported earlier here on my blog the NFL Scouting Combine is on the way. Yesterday one player might have earned himself a small fortune by posting unbelievable numbers at the workouts. Dontari Poe, a Defensive Tackle from the University of Kentucky, weighted in at the Combine at at 346 lbs, standing tall at 6-4.
At that size Poe is literally a giant, being only 21 years old. Even though he has a massive body, he had an amazing workout yesterday in Indianapolis and ran the 40 yards dash in 4.87 seconds. But he was not only fast, but also demonstrated a lot of power: he bench-pressed 225 pounds 44 times.
With this performance he might have lifted his draft stock a lot. Probably into the first 15 picks overall. He now might lead the market for Defensive Tackles in the Draft. And this translates directly into a lot of money in terms of salary and signing bonus. Poe earned himself a substantial amount of money yesterday without ever stepping on the field in the NFL. We will see how his career turns out...
