Steven A Moderator No. 1 Share Posted August 15, 2023 No.s 4, 13 &51 Three Ducks land on The Athletic's 'Freaks List' for 2023 247SPORTS.COM Tuesday morning brought cheer amongst the college football crowd as Bruce Feldman of The Athletic dropped his "freaks" list, recognizing the game's top 101 athletes.

Haywarduck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Sounds good and seems to have a little more to it than just SPARQ scores. I remember a few guys who came to Oregon with off the chart SPARQ scores, but never amounted to much. I would say the guy who still has question marks is Devon, but his numbers are off the chart. Can our freaks, freakout the season is the question? Burch and Dorlus are NFL level talents who just need to put together solid seasons. If they do then they are writing themselves some nice checks at the next level. Devon could develop into a force, if his numbers can be added up to output. Is he a SPARQ type high score guy or is he a football freak, that is the question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Haulin No. 3 Share Posted August 15, 2023 All on the defense side of the ball. Thats a good sign Ducks D should be much improved. On paper anyway. If Popo hadn't missed last year, he would be top 25 on the list. Dude was all P12 the year before I think. Popo is going to surprise a lot of folks. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherOD No. 4 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Casey Rodgers benched 505? Holy cow. That is Haloti Ngata and Igor Olshansky territory (and I believe would be top 5 all time in Duck strength and conditioning bench lore). A guy (who I thought) really came on a bit towards the close of the season. There have been a number of years (reported) that the whole Duck squad only had about a handful of 400 pound bench pressers. Of course, the Duck football all-time leader in the bench press was a guy (whose name escapes me) benched something crazy like 585 in a tested powerlifting event prior to enrolling at Oregon ... only played something like 10 snaps in his one year in a Duck uniform.
