Ricky Lumpkin in the NFL

[kywildcats4life]

I was looking at the Cats in the NFL ESPN page and honestly had no idea he was in the league. Good for him. I know he had lots of potential at UK coming out of TN in high school.

Lumpkin - Raiders

Another two star UK put in the league.

Don't go to UK, they will never find you there. Right.

He was 255# when he came here, if he had gone to one of the elites he probably would have never got off the bench.

Ricky was Tn player of the year at his school's class level. He had a hip problem here that limited his playing time. Once he had that fixed late in his career he was a different player. Good for RL!

Lumpkin had shoulder problems while at UK too. Hard to get stronger in the upper body if you can't lift and hard to lift with a bum shoulder. Unfortunately Meant is having these problems too.

I hadn't heard anything about Meant, bummer. Hope he overcomes it like Lumpkin.

jauk, was announced a few days ago Meant, Timmons, Tiller and walk-on WR Walker would miss spring due to rehabbing shoulder surgeries. Has to have an adverse effect with these guy's strength training this off season.
