Gerald Cadogan/OT/Penn State: Scouts always considered Cadogan a solid athlete and he proved them correct today. Cadogan posted times of 5.03 and 5.07 in the 40 and looked very athletic on the field. His bench press total of 26 repetitions was a positive sign for those critical of his strength.

do u think he will get drafted????

26 is that good? Thats pretty much what RBs put up. I remember last year Jake Long did what 42 or 47 and someone tied him for that.

Yeah 26 doesnt sound like a lot. I can do a set of 26 after a heavy bench workout and if Im not mistaken I thinks it Newark Catholic fan does sets of 15-20 with 225.

Looks like hes not doing to bad.

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Name Time
1. Murtha, Lydon 4.89
2. Meredith, Jamon 5.03
3. Fulton, Xavier 5.04
4. Beatty, William 5.12
5. Cadogan, Gerald 5.12
6. Luigs, Jonathan 5.14
7. Bell, Joel 5.15
8. Britton, Eben 5.16
9. Walker, Brandon 5.17
10. Cooper, Jon 5.18
11. Smith, Jason

IMO i dont think if really proves how strong a guy is on how many times he can bench press 225. IMO i think its kinda more of a stamina, plus you can train yourself to be able to do 225 with alot of reps. But i wish the Portsmouth grad the best. I like to be able to say "Hey you see that guy I played against him way back in 2003"

Its both a strength and stamina thing. You gotta be strong enough to lift it, but also you gotta have the muscle stamina to keep up that strength. Cause as an O-Lineman you are bench pressing all game so you gotta be able to keep that strength throughout 4 quarters cause your going to have 300lb linemen crashing into you every play and if you dont have the stamina to keep your arms up for 60 mins you arent going to be very helpful.

Thanks.

watch some of his games, and some of his highlight tapes.

This kid is strong trust me,,,,not only strong but fast for his size.


Joe Pa ,wouldnt have him starting for him if he could only play one half,,,,,,,

if NFL, dont work out, he can joing the WWE.

you only have to fake being strong about 20 minutes a night for Big Ed

There projecting that he will go 19th in the second round.

Not sure what was going on, I saw some lists that had him as high as 70-80 overall and he is still out there.

The Chargers are also high on him.

Just don't go with Tobias' Steelers. Go a little west of Portsmouth.

I think Gerald is going to be just fine....

Well it's somewhat disappointing but it doesn't mean he won't a future in the NFL.

Gerald has signed with the Carolina Panthers

I hope ur right, I watched the entire draft hoping he'd get picked. Is there some proof of this signing? Or is it rumor?
I'm not saying ur wrong or not a reliable source just don't wanna look like a dumba$$ when I go tell my buddies he got signed and then he didn't!

It might be on some sites. My source is as good as they come, but very little is out in writing regarding any players signing.
