The guy hasn't played ball in eight years and they're going to sign him? What are they going off of, his best Homecoming game?

Nope. They're going off this:

"The 6-foot-3, 290-pound Goliath, the guy who benches 475 pounds, squats 695 pounds...

... A few weeks after his wrestling career came to an end with a Wrestlemania loss to Goldberg, Lesnar ran the 40-yard dash in 4.7 seconds, a blistering time for a man his size. He has a 10-foot standing broad jump. A 35-inch vertical leap, not to mention the bench and squat numbers. It's the tools of an NFL running back power packed into a gladiator's frame."

It's one of those gamble decisions, but not a huge one. If the investment pays off, wowza. If not, you wasted a roster spot and some time.

Thanks. He's a behemoth and can move to boot.
