I've never heard the 'OG" abbrev. before. The first thing that comes to mind is original gangster, lol. I guess it means offensive guard?
Physical freak. Didn't go to the combine so flew under the radar. Texans moved back tonight to target guys high on their board and add aditional picks. Smart drafting.

Splendid. Well folks, let me tell you..I have a special interest in Miami (Oh) offensive linemen and this cat is the real deal. Be excited.
LOVE this guy and fist pumped when we got him. This kid is friggin' HUGE AND MOBILE! Kubiak's wet dream.
this is the report from SI.com in his pro day: The big offensive lineman measured 6-foot-5 and weighed 346 pounds. He completed 36 reps on the bench press, a number exceeded by just one offensive lineman at the combine. The same can be said for Brooks' 4.98 40 time, which included a 10-yard split of 1.71 seconds. Only Donald Stephenson ran faster at the combine. His vertical jump of 32 inches and broad jump of 8-feet, 9-inches were also superb. The 4.52 short shuttle time beat all marks from the offensive linemen who ran in Indianapolis. After sizzling during the testing portion of his workout, Brandon Brooks continued to impress during a 10-minute segment of position drills. According to scouts Brooks moved well around the field, looking fluid and smooth. At one point during bag drills he knocked over a coach from the Pittsburgh Steelers after violently striking the bag with his powerful hand punch. The expectations from NFL decision makers at the workout is Brooks will be the first non-combine participant drafted in April, the offensive lineman Brandon Brooks, considered the highest rated player not invited to the combine, took the field. More than two dozen teams were on hand to watch Brooks today, and he did not disappoint. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/tony_pauline/03/01/pro.days/6.html
Biggest plus for me is that he apparently can play inside and outside. Versatility in skill is quite important for our linemen. Biggest question is his ridiculous weight, which supposedly can even go up to 370 if not careful. In the end, if he gets with the program can develop into Winston's replacement. But also high bust factor. For a 3rd round pick, you pretty much have to risk it.
His weight isn't really a problem. He is a lean 350 with 4.9 40 speed. He is the new and improved Charles Spencer.
how in the world anyone who weighs 350 lbs can have a vertical of 32 inches is absolutely mind boggling to me.
