    The combine was when teams really started to pick apart Aaron Rodgers. When he spoke to the media there, every question was, about playing for the Niners. He was the presumed No. 1 pick. By the end of the week, that was in question.

    Apologize for my ignorance, but how badly did he do? Was reading that he went late in the draft. Is that one of the reasons why?

    Brady was many, many pounds of muscle lighter when he went to the combine than he is today, leading to questions if he could stand the beating of the pro game.

    Not to mention a 5.28 40 time, and a 24-inch vertical leap.

    He did score in the 30s on the Wonderlic, though.

    Thanks, guys. Helps out a lot. Any other players that come to mind?

    Former San Francisco 49er-turned-Chicago Bear Ray McDonald has been arrested on misdemeanor domestic violence and child endangerment charges, Santa Clara police said on Monday.

    Lt. Kurt Clarke said in a news release that McDonald was arrested after officers said he "physically assaulted the victim while she was holding a baby." Police were called to a disturbance at 3:48 a.m. at an apartment in Santa Clara, only to find that McDonald had left to go to a friend's home in San Jose.

    Apparently the woman in question was the same woman he did not beat least year when she was pregnant but it is not the same woman he did not rape last year. I hope he does not get bubonic plague

    Oop has his copy of the constitution and is headed to Halas Hall right now. Ray got railroaded.

    Drew Brees, who measured shorter than he had been listed in college. Anquan Boldin is another one who jumps to mind. He had a really bad 40 time. I don't remember what it was, but it caused him to fall to the second round.

    Jerry Rice famously ran a 4.71 40 at the combine.

    How did he get railroaded? Teams are free to either stand by a player as the legal process plays out or cut him. That has been my position all along.
