Yep. Go listen to the Joe Rogan Podcast with Marcus Luttrell. The SEAL community has dudes that do insane things. Marcus said multiple times he was not the most athletic dude in the world, but no one would outwork him and no one would exert more energy trying to win. Jackson comes from that community and is just a machine physically because of his makeup mentally. That is what a lot of people lack these days is the mental makeup of what he has.

Exactly. Leaders don’t have to be your best players
pretty sure no one is gonna go against him
Believe it or not there are plenty of SEALs that don't look the part. Some are physical freaks, many are not.
I'm too far removed from the situation to have any idea where Jackson would rate with 150 dudes in a weight room but it wouldn't surprise me at all if there were several more freakish athletes than him.
He's got life experience and that drive thing going though.
I started coaching at Boys Town, Mount Michael had for years beat the **** out of us. Well, things started to change when BT got a really good HC. One year, before playing MM the HC said "None of you guys are coming out tonight, we are going to score and score and score"
And we did...it was like 77-7. Next season was more of the same.
I worked with a strength coach that used to be on the strength and conditioning staff back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. I asked him who the biggest freak was in testing. He responded very quickly with Dan Alexander. He said they would test the guys at the beginning of winter conditioning when they were all supposed to have been resting resting and he was the only guy who every mark went up.
There was a former walk-on that wrote a book and claimed they actually had to ask Dan Alexander to stop lifting because he was putting on muscle so easily. Not a lot of 6'0" 250 pound RBs that can make a house call out there.
I am about 6’2 and I tell people I’m 6’0 to make people who are 6’0 look 5’11.
He should have been thrilled we only scored 14 in the second half. We could have gone for a hundo.
Oh God, I think we could have scored 180 in that game. It was like watching the 1985 bears play against a high school JV squad, and that really isn't an exaggeration. Pacific put up more of a fight than ASU did, and they shut down their football program the next year because it was so pathetic.
He started to see some more snaps last year in a reserve role. I think he could definitely be a situational guy for us, but he’s a bit of a tweener to push for a more significant role in my opinion.
I think he played some special teams. Didn't he play on kick offs? He would scare the hell out of me if I saw him running down the field full bore wanting to tear my head off. He's a guy who I LOVE to have on the team. It wouldn't surprise me if he would wound up coaching or as a S&C guy when he's done playing. Finding or making him a job in the weight room would probably be a wise investment.
Clinton Childs took the snaps that day and had over 200 yards rushing as LP was suspended and Damon Benning was hurt.
Pretty sure Benning wasn't hurt. Someone threw out a false accusation against him and it took a week for them to prove it wasn't legit.
JD Spielman magically lost about 20lbs when he transferred to TCU. He was listed as 185 for us and was really about 167. He was 5’ 8 1/2” and we listed him at 5’9”. We always round up about 10lbs on weight and an inch or so on height.
Somebody wanted to know how Suh tested... well here are his NFL combine results.

Fryar ran a 4.23 electronic.! L P ran a 4.42 at 226 lbs Basically our whole society has excepted mediocrity and think a 4.7 is blazing for a incoming RB. Coach Frost does not encourage speed work like he does back squats. Until we get serious about Speed again we will never be able to compete with a Alabama or Ohio State or Oklahoma again!
There is no damn way these make any sense D Jackson is slow as molasses. His 40 time has to be over 5.3 seconds. His 40 score is 750ish, Cam Jurgens score is 515ish and CTB is 650ish makes no sense whatsoever.
