In last night's Patriots-Jets game, the commentators said that Wes Welker is not very fast in a forty yard dash, but that he is one of the quickest and most explosive players in the league within a ten-yard area. That's the reason that Welker is always open, because he can accelerate out of breaks so quickly.

Check out Berrios' forty time versus his shuttle time. By the way, Welker is 5' 9" and 185 pounds. Just sayin'....

He defininately has great change of direction/elusiveness in the open field. He also plays with a lot of determination and his straight line speed seems good enough to me.

One strange thing I did notice from his films is that after he scored a TD, there was not a whole celebration between him and his teamates. Maybe there is nothing to read into that but it did seem odd to me.

We have a saying at Leesville (his school) and that is he may not record the fastest time, but you put him next to any player running a 40 and i take him in a heartbeat. He just doesnt lose, it is pretty funny.

That is actually a good observation about celebrating!

To be honest if they celebrated every touchdown they would probably be more tired than they already are. They have 6 main players that play the entire game both ways as well as averaging 45 points a game. They do a jump at the end of each score to celebrate, but that's about it. I have known all these kids for 4 years and their overall record is 45-6 and you will not find a team more dedicated and close-knit than these kids.

I haven't really talked to him too much, I try to avoid talking to him about it. From what hes said he LOVED his visit to OSU and loved the staff and if OSU offered they would probably be #1 or at least tied with South Carolina. I know he visited Clemson this past weekend and really likes them as well. His brother Austin will be a redshirt freshman at East Carolina last year and his family and gf are all in Raleigh so I beleive that South Carolina would have an edge in that regard, however playing for a national contender every year really entices him to like OSU. Right now hes open and not going to make any decision anytime soon but workout and visit colleges and prepare for senior year. If i had to guess id say South Carolina would be #1 but an offer from OSU or Clemson could change that completely.

Clemson, USC visit Berrios

By Eric Guimaraes
 Junior WR Braxton Berrios of Raleigh has received visits from USC and Clemson in recent weeks. USC has been by his school several times. "I've talked to South Carolina a little more than Clemson," said Berrios. "Both schools are telling me basically the same thing. They see me as a slot receiver. (USC) Coach (Joe) Robinson is also telling me he likes me as a kick returner on special teams." Berrios joked with a "no comment" when asked of his favorites but did hint that USC and Clemson are strongly in the mix. Other schools that have been by to see him include North Carolina, Ohio State, East Carolina, NC State and Wake Forest. "I'm sure I'll go to some junior days but I haven't set any of them up yet," he said. "I'll probably go to South Carolina or Clemson...or both. I'm sure I'll make at least one of them." Berrios plans to make his decision early next fall. His offers include USC, North Carolina, NC State, Wake Forest, Duke, East Carolina, Virginia Tech, Maryland and Minnesota.
