The Dan Patrick Show’s Friday show most likely provided the answer to the issue of how an Oklahoma drill may compare to an NFL one if you’re not an NFL player. Josh Jacobs, the running back for the Green Bay Packers, faced off against Paul Pabst, the show’s producer.
To be honest, there wasn’t much uncertainty about Pabst’s ability to compete against Jacobs, who is 5’10” and 223 pounds. Any remaining uncertainty was eliminated, however, when Patrick selected the Oklahoma Drill, which meant that both men began on their backs. This was a contest of agility as much as muscle.
The two men fell to the floor. Then, with a “Ready, set, hut,” Patrick got things moving, and they were gone. You may have missed it if you blinked.
Jacobs got to his feet rapidly. Jacobs was in Pabst’s face by the time he stood up. Pabst was pushed away from the set desk by the running back. Jacobs dropped Pabst to the ground once he managed to get him into a rather wide area. Luckily, the impact of the crashes was lessened since both guys were wearing shoulder padding.
Pabst joked, “My shoulders are fine.” “The rest of me is in ruins. How well-versed are you in hip replacement surgery?
Jacobs remarked, “I was about to get the ball out.” After that, I said, “No, I’d rather hit you.”
Next, Patrick questioned Jacobs about the number of tackles he had made. The running back recalled one instance against the Seattle Seahawks in which he fumbled and then made a tackle.
He declared, “I like speared, dude—I speared him.” “Man, are you certain you don’t want to take a couple of reps?” they asked for the whole practice week.
Pabst was no stranger to this situation. Prior to the drill, Patrick mentioned that Pabst had had comparable encounters with Clay Matthews and Michael Strahan.
