It was a big day for Michael Brockers, and I'm not just referring to his massive 6-foot-6-inch, 316 pound frame (which was slightly slimmer than Brockers measured in at the combine).
Michael Brockers takes a step forward at LSU pro day
Brockers and the rest of the NFL-hopefuls at LSU had their pro day today. After a less than stellar combine, Brockers, who has been one of the biggest risers in the pre-draft process, improved on some of his crucial numbers.
For starters, he slimmed down from 322 pound to 316, which isn’t a major change, but it shows that he’s working. In addition, the mammoth defensive tackle improved his time in the 40-yard dash from 5.36 at the combine to a respectable 5.15 today. His 21 reps on the bench press were also respectable considering his arms are 35 inches long. His 30 inch vertical jump was also an improvement over the 26.5 inches he recorded at the combine.
Perhaps the best news of the day for Brockers came after his workout, though. Brockers was invited to Radio City Music Hall for the 2012 NFL Draft, according to Albert Elias. He also reportedly had dinner tonight with the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that has a history of drafting LSU defensive linemen, according to Joe Everett.
All in all, it wasn’t a bad day to be Michael Brockers.
