    Margus Hunt. Is this post the first time that a lot of you have heard of him? I used the search function on this site and got nothing really. Google "freak list" and Margus Hunt for an article.

    I was reading about DEs because the Seahawks lost Chris Clemmons to that field during that RGIII knee give out Washington loss (feel bad for RGIII).

    82-inch (2.1 m) wingspan
    bench press 225 pounds (102 kg) 35 times
    cleaned 384 pounds (174 kg)
    snatched 345 pounds (156 kg)
    36-inch (91 cm) vertical jump
    Wollman predicts that Hunt will have 45 repetitions and a 4.6-second 40-yard dash at the 2013 NFL combine

    Monster sack for a safety:

    What do you think? Will he do well in the NFL? I'd like the Seahawks to take him. It's kind of ashame that it looks like he'll give up T&F.

    Just wanted to put up his marks from wikipedia:

    Height: 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) Weight: 275 lb (125 kg)

    In 2006 at the World Junior Championships in Beijing Hunt established a new world junior record of 66.35 metres in his first throw on the qualifying round. At the final competition Hunt improved his own world junior record to 66.68 m in the fourth round and then 67.32 m in the sixth and final round. His gold medal was the first World Junior gold medal for Estonia.

    Three days later he won the gold medal in the shot put by 20.53 metres in the final, beating the closest competitor Mostafa Abdul El-Moaty by 39 centimetres. Hunt became the first athlete to win the gold medal both in shot and discus at the World Junior Championships, outperforming Rutger Smith of the Netherlands who won a gold and a bronze in 2000. His winning distance of 20.53 m was a national junior record with the 6 kg shot.

    His personal best with the senior 2 kg discus is 61.33 meters made on 6 July 2010 in Viljandi.
