with all the combine watching i've been doing it made me wonder about this squad. With Kill Bill and his relentless workouts that the guys are def benefiting from, could somebody try and answer a these questions.
Fastest LU player ???
Strongest overall (I did see a vid of someone doing 36 reps of 225) but would somebody possibly know by postion.
OL
DL
WR
RB
DB
LB
Not trying to start anything, just trying to have some fun, thx.

Fastest player...Id say its between Fogg and DJ Abnar...both have shown they have some serious wheels. Will be interesting to see how Fogg does coming off the foot injury. Cant really answer strongest player though

My guess is that the strongest overall is Francis Bah.

Here is Bahs profile from the roster on the AD site.

You will see that it says he ¨might be¨the strongest player on the team. Look at every other player profile. You won´t see that written about anyone else.

I don't want to start a new thread to mention this so I'm going to hijack this one since the title comes close and it seems to be going nowhere.
I saw on the NFLN bottom ticker that Richmond's pro day is on March 19th and it was listed as "Richmond (with Liberty)". I know some of our players wind up working out at other nearby schools' pro days but this seems like it's a combined thing. I wonder if it's because any of those guys working out would be Rocco's players or are we just BFFs with Danny so we're doing a double date kind of thing.

These are in fact the 2 players who have spent time as sprinters on our track team. Abner this year and Fogg as a Freshman and Sophmore. It´s great experience because the sprint coach is Pete McFadden, who is probably the fastest man ever to step on a football field for Liberty. He knows how to transfer speed from the track to the gridiron.
I think I would give Fogg the edge for now. Abner actually got run down on the one long kickoff return he had. I haven´t seen that happen to Fogg. I think the track experience will be good for DJ. It will help him develop his stride and improve his top end speed.

If you watch that return again olldflame, DJ actually made a cutback at the 35 to avoid the kicker. if he doesnt have to make that cut, he probably outruns everybody. I'll agree though that KFogg has the slight edge in straightline speed. I think having both back there in 2013 is going to give special teams coaches nightmares
