Gator Player "Eye Ball/Looks Test" frm Gator Charity Event:
Player I noticed and physical appearance:
Sharrif Floyd - I can honestly say w/ no bias at all that he is one of the 2 best built DT/DL I have ever seen. He has huge shredded traps, biceps and delts w/ NO stomach at all. His calves are huge and ripped also and he runs extremely well as he was very fast w/ the sled.
Ronald Powell - Wow. I remember some people being kind of let down w/ him last year because he came in a lot bulkier than he was at FNL and no where near as ripped. He has found a balance in the bulk and has ripped out his entire physique and looks extremely athletic and ready. Great personality and charisma.
Jon Bostic - I remember people saying he was undersized last year...Anyone who says the same this year is crazy. He looks like a baby (shorter) Vernon Gholston out there and looks less stiff than last year.
A.C. Leonard - Already came in lookin pretty good. W/ that said he looks even better now than he did in the spring as he trimmed up just a tad as I think he may have rushed a little bit of that spring weight on. He is a fluid runner and kind of reminds you of a slightly less beastly looking CI. Not quite as tall either but he will play a ton. Put it this way, he is in between the build of CI and Aaron Hernandez. He is more 6'2ish like AH but chisels SIMILAR, not like, but similar to CI. AH has never been ripped.
Lerentee McCray - WOW. He is probably about 250 on the head with all good weight. When he first got here I didn't think his frame could hold that but Coach Mick has done an awesome job w/ these kids and they have put in a ton of work. He is very lean and flexible at his current weight and actually looks like an end/linebacker now instead of a player w/o a position.?
Dom Easley - We all know how he looks, he is a bull. Not very tall maybe about 6'2 but no fat. All guns chest and legs. He was wearing a consistent smile and seems to be in a very good mood these days. Look for him to ball out with his awesome attitude transformation. This team has a chemistry unlike many other teams ive ever seen and they are super young. The Offense and Defense take pride in their trade and you can tell.
Jordan Reed - Looks the same pretty much, not a ripped kid but very athletic. Reminds you of a BBall small forward with great jumping ability and surprising speed.?
Solomon Patton, Andre DeBose, Stephen Alli - They all have improved their upper bodies a good deal. They look like football players now. They used to look like a cross country team.?
QD - Has a very Ochocinco like Flash and Personality about him. I love it. Credit Miami for his confidence. Those kids live for competition and cameras. He isn't going to be a bulky type, more like a Chad Johnson type build. I would say Randy Moss but he's not 6'5" nor is he emaciated. He looks fast.
DeAnte Saunders - Is ripped. He has been in the weight room building a very lean physique. Looks like he just toned out in a Joe Haden type of way instead of bulking up. Looks great.
Ju'Ju Story - Tall lanky body type who is very AJ Greenish physically. I hope he has speed and hands like him. Legit 6'3" guy.
Silberman - Beast. All muscle no belly, Huge arms and chest, easily weighs 315 as he is solid and looks hulkish and very tall but it's crazy how he is very proportionate with it. He almost wears it like it's normal.?
Louchiez Purifoy - looks awesome, on a picture of him I saw posted on this board earlier this month I thought he looked too skinny. In person he looks about right. Not ripped out yet nor big at all but not too thin either. He is plenty y'all for the secondary and is at least 6'2" legit. Big calves for his size. Athletic kid.?
Deonte Thompson - Has always had the body. Kid LOOKS like an All American tailback. Huge calves and ripped arms. His build is similar to Chad Jackson. Hope he has his best year.
Valdez Showers - Good size for a corner. Hope he kept all that speed. Didn't stay long enough to see him run. Seemed very happy.
Xavier Nixon - In person he really isn't that skinny. He just is a guy that you can tell naturally will NEVER be fat and if he were to catch a cold and get off of the weights and skip a few meals would be back to looking like a TE in no time. To give him credit he has HUGE ripped arms for an OL and has big legs and calves. He will never have a gut. Just not his body type. He looks to be about 280 ish. Honestly Matt Patchan is the one im concerned about.
Patchan - Seeing Nixon and Patchan side by side, Xavier makes Matt look like a walk on. I know he had been thru it all but he has small arms and legs and though he is very athletic and HAS THAT IDEAL MEAN STREAK, I'm not sure he can put himself together and keep it that way. Hope so.
That's all I can remember paying attention to. Hope this paints a picture for those who couldnt be there in person and who dont know how the perspective of a photograph may make some players look different than in person.?
