He ran a 4.55 at 230 lbs. Who is running faster than that? It's fundamentals you moron. Something you wouldn't know anything about eating cheetoh bowls on your couch.

Someone like Ray Rice could win a belt at 145 to 170.
Are you really this dumb or just don’t like admitting you have no idea what you’re talking about?
If the guy was good nuff to be starter on a ncaa team (good one at that) that means he understands the game of football. If that same guy can’t make it to the pros, it can only mean one thing...
He’s not athletic nuff.
N that’s where you have consider size.
300 pounds guy running 40 in 4.5 is not the same as 200 pound guy.
He was basically undersized at his position (lb) n simply didn’t have athleticism (mobility/agility) to play s or cb.
Unless you think all the nfl scouts are morons for passing on him n you’re the only one that saw his potential
This is why you don't debate fat nerds on sports issues. They literally don't have the slightest clue of what they are talking about. If these football players know everything about football, why do they miss tackles? Why do they blow coverage? Why do they lack technique in certain areas?
The greatest WR is one of the least athletic of all time. The greatest QB is one of the least athletic of all time. The greatest safety, etc.
You have been exposed, debunked, and embarrassed. Time for you to go on the ignore list with the other idiots who can't handle the pressures of reality.
No insecurity at all, but this A-level athlete talk all the time is nonsense (you know it is as well).or mma fans are just insecure

Like I said before it's easier to look great when you're just running a ball up and down a court or a field instead of getting punched and kicked in the face.
Anders was never considered a great athlete at Alabama. He was one of those linebackers that was all about hustle, heart, toughness and leadership. Those guys are fairly common in college football but rarely make it to the next level, particularly when they're undersized like Anders. His raw athleticism would probably be rated a C or D compared to NFL athletes.
With that said, it's those same qualities above that have allowed him to transfer effectively to MMA. He has that toughness and the fighter mentality that you can't teach, couple with some decent athleticism for the sport of MMA.
I remember Rogan was talking about how Lebron James would destroy heavyweights if he trained. I remember thinking that this was the guy that looked like he was about to cry when he got a leg cramp. He's going to dominate MMA?

Why not?
Check this article please:

"One year to be more than the undersized, pass-rushing specialist who famously preserved Alabama's 2009 national title by sacking Texas' quarterback and forcing a fumble."
"Anders has added 25 pounds to his 6-foot-1 frame since the BCS Championship Game and now weighs 245 pounds. He says he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds recently in training and believes he can rush the quarterback in the NFL."
It seems to be that he WAS a successful football player and hadn't he been undersized, he could've had a bright future in the NFL.
He actually had to BULK to 245 to be there.Now he's a MIDDLEWEIGHT.
Is it something MMA orgs have to aim for - successful yet undersized fighters from team sports than can be VERY successful in MMA and take it to new level?
This whole idea on who's considered an A-Level athlete and who's not is just pure bullshit. At the end of the day, they're all athletes getting paid to do whatever sport they're in, some just happen to be better at said sport than others.
Consider how someone like former NFL guy Mittrione didn't even have his first MMA fight until he was 30 and yet was able to compile a very respectable 9-5 record in the premier organization. Now consider how much more successful he would have been with his gifts had he been in muay thai or wrestling or boxing or bjj since he was 12. Same with Schaub who didn't get into martial arts until well after his development years and yet was also able to compile a respectable positive record in the Big Show.
Same deal with Anders. He's 11-1 (4-1 UFC) even though he only took up martial arts in his 20s. Imagine how much better he'd be, with all his natural talent, if instead of choosing the big $$$ sport as a kid he'd chosen wrestling like a DC or a Jones.
Not just "happen to be".
It's more popular sport, more known and respectful.
So it attracts more successful sportsmen.
Now there are leftovers these sports belch like Greg Hardy, but Anders is a different story, as I explained.
