Why ''how''did Brock Lesnar bomb out in 1 day OL tryout for Vikes?

[BrentCrude]

This happened awhile back the year before Chilldress became head coach.Mike Tice was a friend-fan of Lesnar's and he brought him in for a few hour workout with some really grade B practice squad defensive tackles.It was said that Lesnar looked like he was wearing cement overshoes and these guys were spinning all around him.Not sure if they did any bull rushes on him.You would think that Lesnar could hold his own with someone even like Reggie White in his prime doing a bull rush on him?

How difficult can it be to learn how to pickup schemes and such where if you have god given ability you can't become an ok offensive tackle?A generation ago,offensive linemen were just a bunch of beer league softball fat men.

O-Line is an art. The footwork and technique are complicated.

The big fat beer league softball guys play nose tackle now.

agreed

[Lincoln73]

i thought he went to training camp with them as a d lineman.

[Manaconda]

he was D Line

i thought he went to training camp with them as a d lineman.

Yeah I'm almost positive he played for them in at least a preseason game. E60 was showing footage of him running down on a kick off, had no volume on at the time so I dunno whether it was just preseason or a real game.

[marcoloco]

yea I always thought he was on the d-line. DE or something. Maybe his football IQ just wasnt there. Pretty sure he lasted almost all preseason before he was cut

[Wrigley]

The Vikings offered him a deal with NFL euro so he could develop more but Brock turn it down did not want to be away from his family

From his wikipedia page

National Football League (2004)

After his final match at WrestleMania XX, Lesnar sidelined his career in WWE to pursue a career in the National Football League.[14] This move upset many in WWE, as the company felt they had invested heavily in Lesnar. World Wrestling Entertainment confirmed Lesnar's departure on their official website WWE.com by the statement

Brock Lesnar has made a personal decision to put his WWE career on hold to prepare to tryout for the National Football League this season. Brock has wrestled his entire professional career in the WWE and we are proud of his accomplishments and wish him the best in his new endeavor.[72]

Lesnar later told a Minnesota radio show that he had three wonderful years in WWE, but had grown unhappy and had always wanted to play pro football, adding that he did not want to be 40 years old and wondering if he could have made it in football. In an interview about starting with the NFL, Lesnar made the statement

This is no load of bull; it's no WWE stunt. I am dead serious about this... I ain't afraid of anything, and I ain't afraid of anybody. I've been an underdog in athletics since I was 5. I got zero college offers for wrestling. Now people say I can't play football, that it's a joke. I say I can. I'm as good an athlete as a lot of guys in the NFL, if not better... I've always had to fight for everything. I wasn't the best technician in amateur wrestling. But I was strong, had great conditioning, and a hard head. Nobody could break me. As long as I have that, I don't give a damn what anybody else thinks.[73]

Lesnar played for the Minnesota Vikings, where he created controversy in some games by starting minor fights and got heat from the Kansas City Chiefs for a sack on quarterback Damon Huard, which drew a big response from the crowd.[74] Huard was hit hard and had to go to the sidelines and sit out a few plays.[74] After playing in the preseason, Lesnar ended up being a late cut.[15] He declined an invitation to play as a representative of the Vikings in NFL Europa because he wanted to be closer to home with his family

[sundin4prez]

was he not a d-line and he would have made a team with a little less depth then the vikes had.... also dident he tackle the qb in pratice which is a no no which gave he a bad rap...

[Dirty Sanchez]

He did play on the D Line...and started a minor fight when he sacked the KC QB:
