TE: Lance Kendricks: too big to be a WR, too fast to be at TE. Was a matchup problem for defending teams.

Ron Dayne.

Jordan Davis was pretty much a freak at DT.

Good calls.

Jonathan Allen at Bama around 10 years ago was pretty freakish.  They had a lot of great DTs for a string of years, but he stood out physically to me, as far as how he could move and some things he did on the field. 

Speaking of TEs, is Bowers a "freak"? 

Yes. 

at Center

At anywhere. He was just a great football player who would kill to win a game.

Played two-way football at Illinois.

Ted Ginn Jr, especially as a freshman, was crazy to watch

yeah his speed was pretty freakish, for sure one of the fastest I’ve ever witnessed on a football field. 

Percy Harvin up there too. 

I lean to thinking a "freak" is something different from just an elite level talent.  It's a player with a very unusual set of physical characteristics, like weighing 350 pounds and running a 4.6 40 and dunking a basketball.  He might not even be a great football player.

Bowers is an elite talent, no doubt, but maybe not a freak using my restrictive criteria.

Bowers was productive and great.  But it's hard for a 6'4", 230 lb TE to be considered a physical freak.  I think we're leaning on great players and not solely physical freaks.

I'm thinking guys you see on a roster who's height/weight/position stand out, but maybe he never even plays much.
I name recognizable guys to give you an idea of what a "freak" might be.

Joe Milton would be a good example at QB.
He could Uncle Rico it over 'that mountain,' but was never an elite productive talent.  I think he started maybe 1 season overall?  

That one UM QB comes to mind - Drew Henson.  Great, special talent.....but his career mimicked Cade McNamara's in terms of stats.
Sticking with UM, just because we're all familiar with them, a Tyrone Wheatley would be a freak - that size of a RB returning kicks and such.

Guys like that, who may or may not have been productive, but would dominate an NFL combine-type situation.

I would think about a player with an unusual physical ability and who might well not have been a great or elite player, but was 5'8" and could double dunk for exeample.
