04/02/08 - Former University of Hawai'i football players Hercules Satele and Ryan Grice-Mullins had standout individual performances during yesterday's Pro Day at the Home Depot Center. Satele, an offensive guard, bench pressed 225 pounds 40 times. Grice-Mullins, a slotback, sped 40 yards in 4.33 seconds. They were among 19 former Warriors who participated in what was essentially an audition before more than 50 National Football League scouts. Satele, who was raised in nearby Long Beach, had entered with a personal best of 26 repetitions of 225 pounds. Satele spent the past three months training in strength coach Harold "Fudge" Fajardo's home gym in Mililani. Yesterday's weight testing was conducted under a tent on a soccer field. Scouts and teammates formed a mosh pit around the bench-press station. "I had to calm down, black out everyone around, and pretend I was lifting back home," Satele said. "I took (Fajardo's) advice throughout the whole training. I had my rhythm going until I couldn't go anymore." Fajardo had advised Satele not to lift in the week leading to the Pro Day. "He said that would make you hungry for the (weight-lifting) bar," Satele said. "All of the things you didn't do the whole week, you're going to take it out on the bar." Linebacker Timo Paepule insisted the bar tab could have been higher. "I knew he'd put up 40," Paepule said. "He's a beast." - Stephen Tsai, Honolulu Advertiser http://www.nfldraftscout.com/index.php

Wonder if Baltimore would give him a look since Cam's over there, they need help on the O-line, and they had good success with Samson.
