All-NFL "FREAK" Team

[Hov]

Now, this team may be undisciplined - may get into some trouble - may be hard to coach - but, would this team win a SuperBowl in a fantasy world of other "put together" teams? Or do you think they would be hard-pressed discipline wise to even be successful in a normal NFL setting?

What is your All-NFL freak team, in terms of freakish, unreal, uncut talent?

Mine (Some I couldnt think of in terms of pure raw talent, not trying to pick just the obvious hall-of-famer here - some people started with a bang but work ethic brung them down IE Jevon Kearse):

QB - Michael Vick
RB - Adrian Peterson
FB - Mike Alsott
WR1 - Randy Moss
WR2 - Calvin Johnson
TE - Vernon Davis

DE - Clowney

Urlacher?

 

[Dwight Howard]

Prime Antonio Gates was a freak if I've seen one

 

[Majestic Pape]

I don't see how, offensively, the team you assembled doesn't win a Super Bowl unless Mike COMPLETELY fukks it up, because you have every weapon you could possibly need.

 

[boskey]

Might put Sapp and Suh at DT

 

[Taadow]

Thread is lowkey racist.

 

[Tha Gawd Amen]

Replace Urlacher with Lawrence Taylor or Patrick Willis

 

[Brozay]

Why Vernon Davis over Jimmy Graham?

 

[Wiirdo]

For physical freaks, Julius Peppers gotta be in there

 

[Outlaw]

No Cam Newton?

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Pat Willis ran a 4.37. Urlacher over him?. Julius Peppers gotta be over Jevon too. Jevon is close tho

 

[j7thirty]

Urlacher?

people forget urlacher was a safety in college and when he came out what they were saying

MOBILE, Ala. — Tribune Archive: Brian Urlacher

Before Brian Urlacher arrived in Mobile on Sunday for the Senior Bowl, he was training in Atlanta, where his newest brothers in big arms call him "The Freak."

Not because of the way he dresses or acts, but because of the way he runs 40s and pumps iron.

"He is a freak," Marcus Washington, an Auburn linebacker, said after Senior Bowl practice on Thursday. Washington and Urlacher are two of 15 NFL prospects preparing together in Atlanta for the NFL Draft, set for April 15-16 in New York.

"He's about 260 (pounds) and he ran a 4.5 (40-yard dash) on grass," Washington said. "That's pretty freaky right there."

Chip Smith, who has been training NFL hopefuls for the past 10 years, calls Urlacher "an absolute freak of nature."

Smith had 35 players drafted last year, including No. 4 overall pick Champ Bailey. He says there are 75 players in the NFL who prepared for the pro ranks under his supervision.

However, he said he has never seen anybody like Urlacher (6-4, 253).

"He's a new class of athlete," Smith said. "For somebody Brian's size to be as athletic, fast and strong as he is, it's scary. His acceleration for a man that big is really scary. It's a wonder he didn't decapitate somebody in college."

Urlacher left to train under Smith after the Lobos' last game on Nov. 27. Less than two weeks ago, he was weighing 260 pounds. That's when he ran his fastest time ever in the 40-yard dash (4.52). Smith said Urlacher, who has been told by NFL coaches to stay around 250 pounds, can reach the mid-4.4 range, which is as fast as many NFL wide receivers.

"He's not even close to realizing his genetic potential," Smith said. "I've never had an athlete like Brian."

Smith said the last NFL scouting report he saw had Urlacher listed at 245 pounds, his playing weight at UNM, and in the 4.7 40-yard-dash range.

Smith said he expects NFL personnel to be shocked by Urlacher at the NFL combine, which is held in Indianapolis in late February.

If we're talking DT's, the most powerful/freakish player I ever saw at that position was Eric Swann.

Played for the Cardinals in the early 90's.A lot of people don't know about him because his career was cut short by injuries, but when he was on the field ....straight ragdolling


He was drafted #6 overall in the '91 draft without going to college.Cardinals discovered him in a semi-pro football league.

Him and Larry Allen are the two strongest dudes I've ever seen on a football field.
