I've been curious to see if he recovered form after his injuries. GREAT athletic profile.
This guy is completely insane. Did you read that same article that I did?
Behind Porter Gustin's superhero look, a super-strict diet
He consumes more than 10,000 calories a day, blends most of his meals into greenish shakes and eats so many sweet potatoes that the soles of his feet and palms of his hands are an unnatural shade of orange. He has played a football game with a cast on each hand and two bloody screws protruding from a swollen big toe.
His right big toe was split down the middle when he stubbed it into a door after a win over Stanford in the second game of the year. The next Wednesday, doctors inserted two screws into the toe, and four days later, he started against Texas, battling through serious pain. He had two sacks in the first half, but at halftime doctors removed his right shoe and “blood poured out,” Porter says. The screws loosened, the toe cracked back open and his season was lost. “He’s now hungrier than ever and fully rejuvenated,” his father says.
How does one split their toe in half from stubbing it?
Anyways, I really like Gustin's chances in a cage match against just about anybody. On the field though, it's hard to evaluate. From what I've seen, he lacks foot speed to do anything side to side in a game situation. Can't bend the edge at all, doesn't even have flexibility to make any impressive power moves, can't change direction in coverage, etc. Given his injury history though, maybe I was just watching the injured version of Gustin.
Anyone have an example of *good* tape of his?
