Getting a degree in Actuarial sciences with a minor in math takes a ton of work too. Both of those majors alone bring students to tears.

I don't even know what actuarial science is.

Ansah is definitely in my 1st round cluster.

His rookie year he was 274 but i do recall Marty saying during a press day conference when asked about Merrimans weight and he said he was currently around 270 or so and he asked him to get down to 260- 265.

He did look slimmer at times but dont recall what he got down to.

That's what I remember too. IIRC he played at about 265.

For such difficult problems he truly is the Ansah.

Ziggy didn't wing it. He just didn't hire a combine trainer or go to one of the training gyms like IMG. He continued to work out with his strength and conditioning coach. He wasnt just studying for his classes and lying on a couch after like the original article subtly implied. And he is also a track athlete, so while he never ran a 40 before, he has ran the 200m before.

I agree with sd61, watch it again. He looks like he starts to accelerate right at about 35-40 yards. Im sure had he been "taught" how to run a 40, that he would have had a faster time.

Yeah, i agree, he didn't go in there after sitting on his ass and doing nothing, he was still working out, he just didn't train specifically FOR the drills. He continued to work regular drills and work out with the team. The only difference is drill specific training, which i could give 2 -'s about, especially when he dominated the drills anyway.
