Which Eagles player was called "Queen" at the combine?

If you're a real football geek, I'd recommend that you check out the Move the Sticks podcast which is hosted by former Ravens & Browns scout Daniel Jeremiah. Jeremiah gives some very interesting insights into what scouts look for in prospects at all positions. He also just has some interesting behind the scenes stories about the life of the NFL scout.

In a recent episode, Jeremiah discussed the ins and outs of the NFL scouting combine. One aspect he talked about was the weigh in. This is arguably the creepiest part of the combine where prospects walk into a room full of scouts, shirtless and get weighed and measured. Scouts take notes on the guy's physique & generally ogle his body... So Jeremiah said how he's often asked about who he thought showed off the best and worst physiques at the combine over the years. His two best were Greg Jones & Reggie Bush. His worst was pretty funny and has an Eagles connection

The one that stands out to me was King Dunlap, offensive lineman from Auburn who stepped up on the stage and he was a little bit fleshy in certain areas... to the point that when he stepped off the stage there was a lot of people referring to him as "Queen Dunlap" instead of "King Dunlap"

In other words,he had man boobs. The NFL scouting combine may be the only place in the world where a 6'8 monster stands half naked in front of a bunch old guys snickering at him... odd to say the least.

On a positive Eagles note, in a podcast he had on wide receivers Jeremiah said the best WR workout he'd ever seen in his career was DeSean Jackson's workout during his pro day at Cal.

Queen Dunlap looked horrible against Oakland when he came in.

Oh and how the hell did desean ever fall to us? I was going loony watching him fall and knowing he was the fastest player I’d ever witnessed. Then we picked him and my roommate downstairs thought there was some sort of emergency… nope we just landed the fastest, most agile WR in the league. Great day.

My "t" and "y" buttons are messed up so don't bitch at me about misspelling, I'm just saying.

Desean fell because of his size and attitude

I still think the best thing to happen to him was he got drafted in the 2nd round and he got a chip on his shoulder. I still worry about him in a contract dispute and/or after we pay him big if he losses some of his motivation.

Yup, he got a reputation for not having a great work ethic. I still remember what somebody wrote. They said when you draft a guy you always want him to be the first guy at practice and the last guy to leave and DeSean was always the last guy at practice and the first to leave.

Let the beasting begin.

Last year

He spent all off season working out with Jerry Rice and if anyone has a workout plan it’s him.

He looked so bad in that game… In fact, I believe now that the first option is sliding Herremans over to tackle.

That originally was the first option, but Herremans didn’t play that game.

he does look like a smug prick there....

so he still has that….

"Eagles fans are a passionate group who love their team," said McNabb, "if not the actual players. It's not like winning a Super Bowl before the first month of the season is the hardest thing they've ever asked of me. That'd be all those times they asked me to go kill myself."
