[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]02/24[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]...USC Linebacker Brian Cushing's stock has taken a hit despite a pretty good Combine...scouts in the stands at Indy were reportedly buzzing about reports that Cushing spends thousands of dollars a month on nutritional supplements, which raises questions about how maxed out Cushing might be.

I don't think thats going to matter much. Although I have him being picked by us in my mock, after yesterday's performance I'm starting think he'll be gone before the 25th pick.
 
Thousands of dollars a month on supplements? That's hard to do if he's buying stuff within the NFL's non banned substance guidlines.

Thousands of dollars sounds like a crazy exaggeration!
 
The article was actually posted prior to the combine and refers to scout chatter at the Senior Bowl.

I agree, thousands of dollars a month on supplements sounds like a gross exageration. I would only worry if we felt he was undersized and needed to put on more weight. I dont think that is a problem with Cushing.

Keep in mind, lots of rumors seem to start up prior to the draft. Remember, Marino was rumored to be a huge cokehead and we were lucky enough that he dropped on draft day.

Wasn't Cushing linked to roids' at one point and time?

not officially, but much like Vernon Gholston, he has the reputation of being in love with bodybuilding. Doesn't mean he's a roid freak though. Julius Peppers got suspended early in his career because he was a workout freak and tested positive for ephiderin.

Either way, it's not really healthy.
 
Say this s-l-o-w-l-y, Mike Mamula. Came out of BC. Was an absolute beast at the combine. Definition of a workout warrior. His play at BC, while good, was not at the level he was performing at the combine. He went to the Eagles and his playing time as well as his performance slowly started to deteriorate. To me this is exactly what is going to happen to Cushing.

eh, Cuashing was a better player that Mamula ever was really, and if he goes to the right team, he'll be great.
 
Wasn't his forty time in the high 4.7's? I don't really see how you could say that he had a good combine.

Cushing is one guy I'm really hoping we don't take. He's always injured, and the steroid implications don't really help any. I think he's one of the more overrated players in the draft. The guy is definitely talented, but at this point I'd rather have either of his USC linebacker mates over him.
 
Cush is the best USC baker and will NEVER make it to us, i hope he does though. he is a difference maker
 
How is this a red flag on a guy? Guy takes nutritional supplements that helps keep his body and mind in peek performance. I take supplements everyday as well, all im trying to do is live a long healthy life.
