Detroit Lions allocated Australian TE Patrick Murtagh through international

6’5” 220 is the reported listed ht/Wt. Wonder what his testing numbers were. At that weight feels much more like a college program HS recruit. Wonder how fast he could reasonably put on 20-30 pounds.

For his sake, hopefully he doesn’t get injured during camp

by the way, that vertical would have been 2nd worst among TEs at the combine. (ahead of Darnell Washington)

I’m betting that’s not something he specifically trained for.

But i thought it said he specialized in high jump in the decathlon…

“a track standout who won an Australian state decathlon championship and competed in the triple jump and high jump”

Aussie’s are nearly all white. Everyone knows white men can’t jump. He’s probably the best in Australia.

For the safety of the other Lions players, Murtaugh should not be able to use the toilets at team facilities.

In the other article they have him at 114kg or 250lbs, saying he is Kelce’s wt.

I heard something on a Lions podcast the other day that Shane Zylstra had lost weight, I guess he’s somewhere around 220 now? Seems like a move to WR is imminent if that’s the case

His nickname is Kilogram Kelce

I like him at TE and his value comes in him being faster than LBs to stretch the field so I’m ok with him losing the weight. He won’t cut it as a wideout

He doesn’t count against the roster and they have a year long practice squad exemption to keep him there. Free warm body that doesn’t count. That’s a win. He’s also a good Punter, so there’s that if Fox gets hurt by carrying @BigNatty fan mail :smile:. This is a win.

Looks like a WR build right now.
