300-Pound DT Quinnen Williams Ran A 4.83 40 After Eating Only Four Double Stuf Oreos For Breakfast
Yahoo- Alabama defensive lineman Quinnen Williams ran a personal best 40 at the NFL scouting combine. He ran a 4.87, his best mark to that point, and one-upped it with a time of 4.83. It’s the fastest time by a player weighing more than 300 pounds since 2012 and the fourth fastest since 2003. The potential No. 1 pick skipped breakfast that day, telling The Athletic’s Vic Tafur he wasn’t nervous but did need a “little snack on the way.”
The snack of choice for the 6-foot-3, 303-pound prospect? Four Double-Stuf Oreo cookies.
He professed his love for the snack during a combine news conference, adding he eats Oreos “almost every day.” He gave them up to train for the combine, per The Athletic, so in his first reckoning with the addictive cookie he kept himself to four Double-Stuf Oreos.
Top. Of. My. Big. Board. Not to go all Mel Kiper on you guys, but Quinnen Williams checks all the boxes I look for in a player.
Athletic specimen? Running a 4.83 40 when you are 300+ lbs. is superhero shit. CHECK
From a blue blood program? I’m not a diehard college football fan, but I think Alabama qualifies. CHECK
Good decision making? Recognizing that Double Stuf is the perfect Oreo because regular Oreo don’t have enough stuffing while Mega Stuf and Most Stuf have simply too much stuffing shows Quinnen is good at comparing and contrasting. Avoiding Oreos the entire time during training shows then eating four without taking down the entire row shows proves Quinnen practices restraint. And actually eating Oreos for breakfast the day of these drills shows Williams subscribes to the feel good/play good theory, which is 10000% true. HUUUUUUGE CHECK
Intelligence? Starting to talk shit about Kyler Murray right before you play him then remembering Saban may actually kill you for providing bulletin board material before a playoff game, so your brain holds the Reset button until it reboots is about as smart as it gets.

Oh yeah and Quinnen Williams is a freak of nature when he is playing the sport of football and is one of the rare defensive tackles that jump off the screen whenever he plays. That’s good, too.
Quinnen Williams is officially Must Draft for every NFL team (except for my Giants who need to get a fucking quarterback ASAP).

Sorry I couldn’t find any pictures of smokeshows snacking, so my chins hammering down a bunch of junk food will have to suffice for now. I’ll bring the heat for the next repost penance, blogger’s honor.
