Senior Bowl Recap - Fantasy Football Jungle

^ My recap

I like your recap except for one thing.

I wouldn't say Brian Cushing's stock is up any from the SB. He was great in practices all week long, but he played pretty poorly in the game. I'd say it's a wash with him, he's still a borderline 1st round pick in my mind

I agree with you Saint on Cushings. I honestly really don't like the guy. There is something about the guy. He's not a natural at all. I think he may be on steroids or something. He has BUST written all over him in the NFL where there is real tallent. Ray on the other hand is a natural and he's gonna be great. You could tell a lot about someone as a football player by just talking or listening to the person talk and Cushings is really a pansy not a football player.

I wouldn't call either a pansy, but I actually think of it the other way around. I think Brian Cushing is going to be a really good pro where as Rey is kind of a boom or bust player in my opinion. I think he may need to shed a few pounds.

I think people on this board really undervalue just how good Brian Cushing is in coverage for a guy entering the draft. Example is a guy like A.J. Hawk whom was a top five pick struggled in coverage coming out and Cushing is rock solid. Much better in my opinion and you just can't find that in a linebacker that much.

Ok you guys can take this for what you want, but I never once heard or knew of any speculation or anything about Cushings taking steroids except from what I've seen from watching him play and listening to his interviews. I just now decided to look up Cushings taking steroids on the internet, and walla, a big speculation of Cushings taking steroids in High School and possibly college. Thats pretty wierd in my opinion. I'm telling you there is something off about this guy to where he is trying extremely hard to be something he is not. I'm an athlete and have played with a lot of good athletes. This guy is DEFINATELY not a natural athlete. He is fake and it will ALL catch up to him eventually. Now I know this is all speculation and no factual evidence, but I just thought it was really wierd how I could swear there was something off about him and then find all this stuff on the internet. Look at his eyes in the second photo on the second site and TRY to tell me he is not on steroids there. You can take it for what you want.

I don't think that second pick in that link is Cushing.

It is him... He is with Mays. They are roomates. Amazing how both are freakishly strong and aggressive on the field, and both have had temper issues. Time will tell.
