Got Me Wondering

LSU Cornerback Patrick Peterson ran a staggering 4.32 40 yard dash time at the NFL Draft Combine today. This is really remarkable considering Peterson features a 6'1" 219 lb frame which is very large for a cornerback. Obviously that's a very impressive 40 time. A big corner who can run that fast is more than intriguing to NFL Scouts, but the big question that invariably comes up, is this the mark of a football player or just another workout warrior who can do everything except play football at an NFL level.

Fortunately for Peterson, he has the game tape to back up his impressive Combine workout as he is projected to be a top 5 pick. Still, I couldn't help but wonder about how many workout warriors of Combines Past ended up being worth anything in the NFL. Then as if right on cue, NFL Network in conjunction with Realclearsports.com put together this list of Top Ten Workout Warriors.

Some of the (ahem) highlights besides Mike Mamula, include the player that began my distrust of Lovie Smith....Adam Archuleta (pictured above with his smoking hot wife). ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!
