Bearcats punter makes annual 'Freaks' list
Bearcats punter makes annual 'Freaks' list
May, 19, 2011

By Brian Bennett

When I attempted -- rather pathetically -- to go through Cincinnati's winter workout program earlier this year, I joked to the strength coaches that maybe I could at least do as well as a punter. They shook their heads and told me I had a long way to go to match their punter in the weight room.

Well, now I don't feel quite so bad about it. Colleague Bruce Feldman has released his annual "Freaks" list of workout warriors, and Bearcats punter Pat O'Donnell scored a victory for punters everywhere by checking in at No. 10. Writes Feldman:

"Yes, a punter. Don't roll your eyes, though. This guy is one of the more imposing punters since the Pittsburgh Panthers' MMA fighter Dave Brytus. The 6-foot-5, 217-pound O'Donnell has a 355-pound bench, broad jumps 9'2" and his 10-yard split of 1.53 seconds is actually faster than the time Jeff Demps clocks."

Feldman lists West Virginia defensive end Bruce Irvin among those players who just missed the cut. If O'Donnell is making this list ahead of Irvin, that tells you something.

With that strength and that speed why isn't BJ working him out as a TE or DE? If he put on another 10-20 lbs he would be a beast at TE, DE, or maybe even LB or WR with his speed.

Sounds like he could sure put a hurting on the other team's return man. Better not let the punter get through!

O'Donnell sounds like one of Kelly's power players. I think we found our next great OT.

Don't compare Rath... O'Donnell is one of very few in the 2009 class who's actually made a meaningful contribution (the few that are still around anyway 03-nerner )
