Pro day results: (NFL Combine OT averages in parentheses)
5.77 40 (5.20)
1.92 10-yard split (1.75)
23.5” vertical jump (27.5”)
6'9" broad jump (8'8")
8.93 3-cone drill (7.77)
5.44 20-yard shuttle (4.76)
22 bench press (25)
Terrell's results would have been worst at the Combine for everything except vertical jump and bench press. His 3-cone and shuttle times were each about a half-second worse than the next-worst times.
Positives: Massive man with 38-inch arms (36" was the longest measurement at this year's Combine) and a near-eight-foot wingspan. 12 teams went to Ole Miss' pro day, and he was reportedly the center of attention.
Negatives: So huge, he struggles just to bend down and get low and he can't generate much burst or drive out of his stance. Very little flexibility. Very little game experience, spent most of his college career on the sideline.
Compares to: Paul "The Big Show" Wight.
Fun Facts: At the time he walked on at Ole Miss, Terrell had effectively been out of football for two years and had been working at a furniture store. The tallest player in NFL history was 7'0" Raiders defensive tackle Richard Sligh, who appeared in 8 games for their first Super Bowl team in 1967. Heaviest player ever isn't really officially kept. Aaron Gibson (Lions, Cowboys, Bears 2000-04) and Mike Williams (Bills 2002-05, Redskins 2009) have been reported at 410.
RamView: Even NASA doesn't have as many projects as the Rams have going in training camp in 2013, and Terrell Brown is quite literally the biggest. RamView was pretty sure the Rams just signed the massive Brown as a way of getting on "Hard Knocks," but no, they say they're going to try him at right tackle. If this were a Disney movie, Brown would prove in camp to be such a prodigious kick-blocker or goal-line jumbo tight end that the Rams would be compelled to keep him, and he'll go on to recover a fumble to win the Super Bowl. In reality, we're probably going to wonder why the Rams fooled around and wasted a 90-man roster spot on a guy who's barely played football in five years, and by all accounts can barely move. Even a second punter would have been a wiser investment.
Chance of making team: 1%.
