Forbes was a 3 year starter at left tackle for the Redhawks, winning the team’s award for best offensive lineman in his sophomore year, his first year as a starter. In his junior year, he was named second team All Ohio Valley Conference, leading a line which allowed only 14 sacks all year. After his senior season, he was selected as an FCS second team All American by the Associated Press. Snubbed by the Combine, Forbes’ stock has improved dramatically in recent weeks as a result of an impressive Pro Day performance. He posted numbers on key metrics that would have had him among the top OL at the NFL combine. His 40 yd time (4.87) would have been the best speed among that group with his bench press (28), vertical jump (30.5”), and 3 cone (7.59 seconds) being top ten scores.StrengthsGreat athleticism.Durable.Smart.

Had he posted those numbers at the NFL Combine, it’s possible that he would be in the Day 2 conversation. As it sits currently, it sounds like he’s a potential 4th or 5th round selection. Forbes is a bright guy, with multiple academic honors, he’s already married, and he helped put the Southeast Missouri State football program on the map during his tenure with the team. Given his athletic prowess, his high motor, and his nasty streak, I’d love for the Redskins to give this guy a chance to fill out the interior line with Chase and Brandon. The awkward dance continues between the Washington NFL franchise and tackle Trent Williams, and it is only getting more and more bizarre. Hanging in the balance is whether Williams gets paid for the final nine weeks of the season, and whether he gets credit for the current year of his contract.He returned to the team on Tuesday after no trade happened Terry McLaurin Jersey , with the obvious goal of ensuring that, come 2020, he’d be only a year away from free agency. Washington, if it chooses, can (continue to) play hardball with Williams, arguing that his inevitable failure to be on the active roster for at least eight games tolls his contract by a full year, keeping him from becoming a free agent until after the 2021 season.Then came Wednesday. Williams passed a physical, until he didn’t. For the first time in recent memory (or perhaps ever), a player who received a thumb’s up from doctors retroactively failed the examination. In this specific case, Williams has discomfort when wearing a helmet, due to the area on his head where a tumor previously was.There’s an element of poetry at play here. Whether discomfort is genuine or of the Jalen Ramsey variety, the relationship between Williams and Washington went haywire because of the team’s mishandling of the growth that was on his head. Unlike Ramsey, however Wes Martin Jersey , it won’t be enough for Williams to decline to practice and play due to pain in his head. Inevitably, Washington will dub the condition a non-football injury, shut him down for the season, refuse to pay him, and attempt to toll his contract.Williams’ next move would be to challenge the designation, claiming that it’s actually a football injury, not because it happened on the field but because (as the argument would go, if he makes this specific argument) team doctors allowed him to keep playing with the growth on his head, and that he wouldn’t currently be suffering pain when trying to wear a helmet if they’d simply advised him to shut it down last season and have the tumor removed. Whether that argument holds water depends on whether a doctor would express that opinion within the confines of a grievance.Regardless, the next few weeks may feel a little like watching Kasparov play Karpov after plying them with a fifth of vodka. And if any NFL franchise was destined to find itself in a predicament like this, the first choice would be the one that is in this predicament.
