Hilton Richardson can really fly
Too bad the Broncos seem to have no idea where to put him. My suggestion: special teams gunner.

He must not be able to catch the ball?
However, if I remember correctly Burroughs and Potter couldn’t catch for almost their first two years at BSU? Now look at them – Potter does pretty good and Burroughs is on a poster?

I was!
4.28 really?? WOW. Had no idea we had that many guys faster than the 4.4.‘s….Hilton Richardson with a 4.37, that’s crazy fast for a linebacker! Really pleased with all this speed we have now, hopefully they can use it effectively!! PS Chris Santini (as a true freshman) will be the strongest guy on bench press…as soon as he arrives.

Will be intersting
to see the number Santini posts when he arrives. Read the following numbers online, 600lbs squat, 400+ bench and 315+ Power Clean. As a high school kid thats just crazy, if true.
Not sure if the squat and bench are verifiable but here is a link to a 315lb power clean

Thanks for the link, fanaround.
I watched all of it due to the fact that auto link was on (wouldn’t have seen this stuff otherwise). Some great plays and funny stuff.
I’m really looking forward to seeing Santini, on The Blue. I think he’s going to be a great addition to the team. rec

The 400 bench is verifiable
As well as a 500 squat, per YouTube…he has a bunch of videos posted. But yeah, craaazy numbers

Quirky but makes sense
Looking at the post from the cupecake video, he just had his wisdom teeth pulled. Must have been told he looked like or felt like the kid from the original video, chubby cheeks and all. I guess you can’t fault a kid for goofing around, damn glad my adolescence wasn’t caught on tape ; )
I don’t mind my linebackers a little nuts. I remember a video interview with Dick Butkus talking about how he visualizing a ball carriers head rolling off his shoulders after a hit. Personality, potential, talent, dedication with a sprinkle of crazy… Yes please!

I don't fault him. He and his buddies are just having fun.
Videos are clearly a hobby for him and his friends, and have been for a long time. He was pretty young when his skate board videos were made and put on youtube.
He’s just having fun doing the singer videos. See: Numa Numa, Smang it, and Shawty it’s ur booty.
Cuppy cake was a response video to a specific girl on Youtube that had done it prior.

A couple of guys that surprised me on the weights.
Drew Wright back squatting 515lbs, and Dillon Lukehart hang cleaning 323lbs. Amazing numbers for those two. They’re just not that big from a physical stature standpoint. Very nice strength numbers.

Dan Paul is a best!
I look forward to seeing him plowing through defenders paving the way for Harper and company.

Bacon/Paul/Wright wishbone
I’d sell my left something to see that. Those are some strong guys.

Clavicle
Your left clavicle. Wouldn’t even know it’s missing.

Is this the right place to complain about hand timed 40s?
No doubt these guys are fast, but the top three times are as fast or faster than anyone ran at the combine this year.
At least the weight lifting is accurate…
Link to the truth about 40 times.

Debbie Downer, just kidding.
We are a fast team and we will prove it on the blue.

True...
but the commentators at the combine said that most of the NFL scouts hand timed it themselves anyway…all we know is these guys are FAST!
by Future_Demagogue on Jun 1, 2025 6:08 AM PDT up reply actions
If the 100yd dash was a combine drill, I wonder where D. Burroughs would place?
Probably top-5…maybe even #1.
I realize the fallacy of hand-timed 40s, but when you think about it this way maybe those guys are NFL combine fast.

Mitch
What about big brother Mitch B.? Is he injured? I thought he’d show up on one of these lists.

Other Stats and News
What was not reported:
Michael Atkinson lifts a whole cow and eats it.
Ebo Makinde was pulled over on I-84 near Twin Falls, when Speeding without a car and was advised next time get a car before somebody gets hurt. He was wearing his Nike shoes and not in Oregon, or otherwise he would have not been stopped in the first place. Dallas Burroughs was not cited as he was running with Ebo. On another note: Ebo tested vertically high on the meter and was given a high five by the coach and was sent on his way.
Dan Paul is asked to replace the South Bench to its former location before the Press gets wind of it.
Jamar Taylor ran off with the three cones and was asked to return them before the Ice cream melts as they were needed for scooping into the cones. He was given a power drill for his three cones, known as the Three Cone Drill.
The only thing the BCS has to fear, is fear itself, and Blue is the color of fear.
