HUH, HUH, YOU SAID "PHYSICAL":
HUH, HUH, YOU SAID "PHYSICAL": From a Sports Illustrated piece by Peter King about Maurice Clarett, his refusal to work out for NFL teams, and the growing irrelevance of the NFL Scouting Combine:
Clarett did not come across as well to inquiring minds. Asked what kind of player the team drafting him would be getting, he sounded more like Beavis than Jamal Lewis. "I don't know," Clarett responded. Then he chuckled and said, "cool."
Funny what can happen in the course of human events between a Tuesday and a Friday. Since Beavis is currently not under federal indictment for drug trafficking, and Jamal Lewis is, the Ravens would perhaps be better at this point with Beavis, Butt-head
or Clarett in their backfield. Of those three, I'd say the best bet is Clarett: he may have only spent one year in college, but then Beavis and Butt-head are still stuck in middle school. Expect a lawsuit soon in regards to their draft eligibility.
