This guy's gonna be a big deal come the draft.

Look at the current top DT stats:

#1: Glenn Dorsey (LSU): Height: 6'2" / Weight: 297 / 40 yrd - 5.12 sec / Vertical: 25.5 inches / Bench Reps:

#2: Sedrick Ellis (USC): Height: 6'1" / Weight: 309 / 40 yrd - 5.26 sec / Vertical: 26.5 inches / Bench Reps: 34

#3: Kentwan Balmer (North Carolina): Height: 6'5" / Weight: 308 / 40 yrd - 5.29 sec / Vertical: 29 inches / Bench Reps: 33

Now check this out: Oregon Pro Day stats:

Victor Filipe (Oregon): Height: 6'2" / Weight: 319 / 40 yrd - 4.9 sec / Vertical: 30 inches / Bench Reps: 33

This guy is heavier than than the top DTs, but he's faster than them and is just as strong with a great vertical. Keep an eye out for this guy, he's a brick house. He's bulked up quite a bit since playing for Oregon and is in great shape. His agent has been contacted by quite a few teams showing good interest:

* Cleveland Browns
* SF *****
* Oakland Raiders
* NY Jets
* Buffalo Bills
* Chicago Bears
* Minnesota Vikings
* Jacksonville Jaguars

Booming all over the place? You've started this thread here, Scott Wright's board, a Bears board, a Ravens board, and a Raiders board. I have to ask.......what is your personal connection to Filipe? Are you related to him? His agent? Victor, is that you?
