2009 Weber State NFL Draft Prospect MARCUS MAILEI

[Native]

Weber State Fullback Marcus Mailei (6-0, 248) is listed as a participant in the February 18-14 NFL Combine.

Here is part of the NFLdraftscout analysis:

"...A thumper inside who often puts his target to the ground. Stout build throughout his body. Explodes out of a very low stance, and can get to full power even though he lines up a yard closer to the line than most fullbacks. Also goes in motion before the snap to get outside faster. Stays low, and brings his hips and keeps his legs moving when making contact in the hole. Always finds someone to hit. Sustains blocks through the whistle, if needed. Has a good punch and extends his arms to hold off ends in pass protection or linebackers if blocking past the line of scrimmage. Soft hands in the flat and has some open-field agility. Could handle short-yardage running responsibilities..."

Weber State Fullback Marcus Mailei...Who named him first team all-american? AP... no, AFCA... no, Walter Camp... no, Sports Network... no. Then who? Oh yeah, CSN. Again and again CSN is ahead of the curve. Sort of like AGS. xrulesx

Well what about the others invited to the combine? Did you have all of them? lol.

Seriously though I must say that CSN deserves props for having him 1st team. I think based on college numbers Romero should have been but Mailei was the best FB in the nation and CSN is the only one who gave him that honor. Anyone who had him, Chris Baker, Everette Pedescleaux, and other sleepers should be congratulated for not picking based on preseason hype and selecting the players who truly deserved it. Way to go CSN! xthumbsupx

Marcus Mailei is a strong possibility for a late round pick at fullback. I know he has spoken with over two dozen teams and was flown out by Philadelphia a few weeks ago for a workout (although they don't really need a fullback).
Many NFL scouts including Mel Kiper have called Marcus "the truest fullback in the draft" due to his machine-like blocking. He de-cleated everybody he touched at the Texas vs the Nation All-Star Game.

Here is the link to his workout video at the NFL Combine and below are some links to articles written about Mailei's prowess at the FB position.

Unfortunately, however, he was apparently cut by Philadelphia.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.

If you broke your arm for that he would have broken it years ago and several times since then. :D
