Newest superathlete may rise to top five

08:00 AM ET 02.19 | Just how high will BYU defensive lineman Ezekial "Ziggy" Ansah rise? To hear Senior Bowl Executive Director and former longtime NFL scout and executive Phil Savage talk about Ansah, the top 10 appears to be a sure thing heading into the NFL Scouting Combine. "I'm thinking that maybe even the top five." ... At 6-foot-5, 274 pounds and a wingspan of nearly seven feet, he runs like a track athlete. That's what Ansah did before finding his way to the gridiron. In fact, Ansah did lots of things before getting to football. There was soccer in his native country of Ghana. There was basketball, a sport he loved as he watched his older brother, Elias, play. Ziggy even dreamed of playing at the NBA level after he converted to Mormonism and came to the United States.

This guy reminds me of Mamula, who the Eagles drafted 7th overall, from Boston College. He actually was picked ahead of Warren Sapp. If this Ansah moves up that high, it is proof positive this combine working out in shorts thing has gotten out of control.
