There's quite a lot of actual game film on Reisner. Assuming he didn't totally screw up the interview process, I don't see the physical part of the combine hurting him that much.
Yeah true. Being athletic and strong in the NFL doesn't mean anything.
I assume you are being sarcastic here. If my assumption is correct, my response would be that bench pressing and 40 times are not the only ways to measure strength and athleticism.Yeah true. Being athletic and strong in the NFL doesn't mean anything.
Iowa players don't usually bench very well, Chad Greenway only did 19 at his NFL combine.
How did Dallas Clark do at the combine? Moeaki?
I honestly don't know what the coaches and GMs get from the combine beyond the medical exams, interviews and a chance to see the players' attitudes and work ethic, how they interact with each other and take direction from professional staff.
A graphic of the holders of bench press records for each class contained the names of a lot of players who didn't go on to do much in the league. Similarly, running a 40, throwing balls to spots on a field, dashing around cones shows only a little bit about physical ability but virtually nothing about heart, playing smarts, coolness under fire.
With all due respect, Reisner isn't in the same ballpark as Moeaki or Clark.
You are absolutely correct here. I don't see a future in the NFL for him. Hopefully he completed his degree at Iowa. He will find that there actually is life after football.
