vmax Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Six years ago, the Oregon Ducks defense practiced like most other college teams, with one exception: Their stud defensive lineman sat out, doing drills on the side by himself. Haloti Ngata was too good to practice with the rest of the team. He hampered the offense's development. "We couldn't get plays off," said Steelers backup quarterback Dennis Dixon, who played for the Ducks, including one season with Ngata. "Seriously. He was that big, he was that effective. He didn't practice with us at all." Ngata, now a Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman, is bigger now, listed at 6-foot-4 and 350 pounds. "He might be more than 350," Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey said. "He hits like he's 500."

yagersports Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The guy is a beast and after this year even with Haynesworth's obscene contract, we're gonna have to pay this guy. Would've been nice to see a trio of Ngata, Suggs, and Kindle rushing the passer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The question is can they afford Ngata. With that ridiculous Albert deal and also with Suggs deal and how he is only now living up to it Ngata could get a $100 mil 6 yr deal with $40 mil upfront. If I were his agent I would argue that. If it gets to crazy numbers they might have to let him leave. I wanted them to resign him 3 yrs ago before he became a ridiculous stud. But why use forethought.
