**** repping out a power clean. This isn't crossfit. They should see how much they can PC for 1-2 reps.

Powerclean is a great lift, but I don’t see it ever happening. Too complicated of a lift to spend time on perfecting for an event where you have a few months to train for many. Easier to pull or strain something going for a maxout by trying to impress scouts in a lift where they’ll compensate by using inproper motor patters. Pro Olympic lifters spend all of thier career perfecting the lift, and still get injuries and strains when attempting maxouts.

With all of their resources, I’m sure the NFL could afford more research into a lift or event that shows upper body force production, while mitigating the risk of injury.

To be fair Olympic cleans are A LOT more technical than power cleans. These guys do the lift all the time in practice anyway. They aren't going to learn it for the combine.

The biggest issue I see is deciding the depth of a real power clean. How deep can these guys get before it no longer becomes a power clean. That is the main issue I see. Otherwise you will see guys getting lower and lower until they are basically doing an oly clean.

look how easy Joe Jack catches that.....te skills on display.....

Put him on the other side of a speed rusher and he will sit near double digit sacks.

In fact i would like the Dolphins to grab him by the 3rd if we could as Branch's replacement. He could learn from Wake for a year or so.

Joe has tremendous eye to hand coordination this alone with his size and impressive speed high second round but don't bee surprised if he wowed some team in need for late 1st .

Wait till his talent is really brought out by excellent coaching JJ is a special gift to a team whom opens this package , yes Dolphins perfect fit if he makes it that long.

Williams isn't making it out of the top 3 after that 40.

He was the only dt more dominant than Gerald Willis in the country. Williams is THAT good. If he falls to Tampa at 5 I’m happy. Either way i think the Bucs can get a great player at 5
