Will never understand why people love to take shots at Pete. All he did was lead us to the CFB, win two pac-12 titles and lead us to three new year six bowl games.
It's because Pete was awesome ...
but the perception was that he wasn't "ruthless" enough ... wishing he was a bit more like Don James who would tolerate more "thuggishness", more "play football, not school" - in order to put the absolute best players on the field and push the envelope to the zenith.
It wasn't too, too long ago that Washington offensive tackle Trey Adams was a potential Round 1 guy. I even had him ranked high last year before he decided to go back to school. But the massive 6-foot-8, 319-pounder had a tough 2019 season after missing nearly all of 2018 due to a back injury, and the combine didn't help him out at all. His 5.60 40 time and 7-foot-8 broad jump were both worst among linemen, and his 24.5-inch vertical tied for the worst. Coming into the combine, I had Adams at No. 74 overall and No. 8 among OTs. He's not an elite athlete, and he struggles with quick inside and fluid double moves. - McShay
He put on 7 fucking pounds. That will probably eat into a guy's 40 time, but what do I know.
What was the grand FSP strategy here? The one thing Salvon had going for him was the ability to run a 4.4, but instead you bulk him up and slow him down?
I'm trying to figure out exactly what the grand plan was here. His speed was literally the only thing that was going to get him drafted, and now he bulks up and loses all that?
Body fat % lol. I mean understandable if you are in the 20+ range but is he training for football or to mode the next P90x video?
Say what you want but those photos are skewed anyways this man is not 13% body fat. Tell me where is his body fat he’s mostly likely 10% and dropped it down to 8% but just like football numbers in general they usually give guys and extra inch or round up in weight. I also think something had to be up he just ran a bad day I think. Your telling me someone like Salvon can’t run a sub 4.4 - 4.5 and he’s not even 200lbs while Johnathan Taylor is 31lbs heavier than salvon and ran 4.4? Some days you have good days and some bad going from a 4.31 to a 4.65 in a year has to have more than just adding 7lbs you would have to try to run a 4.65 and also where is the fucking video of him running I want to see this shit

"Ran a 5.10 40-yard-dash at 302 pounds and has looked really fluid and agile in movement drills. Looks like a quality Day 2 center prospect."
I legit feel bad for Trey. He was money the first two years.

"Washington OT Trey Adams night not be drafted. Injury history and a really bad combine. At one time, Adams was getting buzz as a first round pick."
NFL.com's Chad Reuter...
"Adams' injury history (a 2017 ACL tear and 2018 back surgery) was well-known coming into the combine, and he needed to shine to make teams consider him for a top-100 selection. A 5.60-second 40 (with a 1.89-second 10-yard split, the second-worst in the group) did not aid that effort. Adams' on-field agility was limited during drills, as well. His experience at tackle was reflected in the kick-slide drill, though. I suspect he'll stick in the league for as long as his back will allow, but Adams will probably have to wait until later in the draft to hear his name called."
Pro Football Focus's Michael Renner...
"There simply aren't a lot of bad athletes on the edge who consistently hold up in pass protection in the league. And there's no way to sugar coat it, Adams' testing was bad. He ‘ran' the slowest 40 (5.6 seconds) and had the worst vertical (24.5 inches) and broad jumps (7-foot-8) of anyone in attendance. After those three, he packed it in for the day. Adams already comes with massive health concerns, and his on-field performances did little to help his draft stock."
"Washington QB Jacob Eason throwing a smooth, effortless deep ball with a lot of accuracy. He's not Josh Allen-ing out there in these passing drills, but his tools are clearly a cut above."
Chad Forbes...
"Jacob Eason’s talent is off the charts. Kirby Smart choosing Jake Fromm over Jacob & Justin Fields cost him at least 1 National Championship.

"Harrison Bryant and Hunter Bryant are the two hardest for me to figure out. I expected better times from them. Hunter sat at 4.74 and Harrison sat at 4.73. Bryant just looked very skinny. Hunter looked a bit jittery in movements. Overall, I think both had solid days. It’s hard to separate them but I think both moved well and converted their opportunities. Plus burst but blocking will probably be an issue.
"I think strength separates them. Neither will be a great block but I can see Hunter Bryant winning with power. Maybe it’s me, but it’s shocking how skinny Harrison Bryant looks. No surprise he got 13 reps on the bench which ranked last of any player to participate at the position. Hunter got 23 which is a good number. Catching the ball in traffic and winning with strength, I think Hunter has the edge. Both guys looked super impressive in the back shoulder route."

No. It’s because they didn’t like his strength coach.

He was very good his first two years, but may have been overrated even back then. He got destroyed by USC and gave up a first drive sack vs ASU the next game that had me questioning whether it was a blip or if he was overrated. The injuries the next two years didn’t help.

Did he grow over the weekend or block any good D-lineman yet?
