Draft Scout Terrence Cody News
01/28/10 - When Terrence Cody, the mountain at the center of Alabama's defensive front last season, stepped on the scales Monday at the Senior Bowl, the needle stopped at 370 pounds. That's five pounds heavier than Cody was listed on the Alabama roster, and 20 pounds heavier than scouts and NFL personnel were hoping to see from the Ft. Myers, Fla., native. "I was a little heavy," Cody said. "I just need to work harder and get back on my diet. I didn't have enough time to work out. We had that late game (the BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7), so I only had like a week to work out." To his credit, as he fielded question after question about the weight issue, Cody remained upbeat and kept a smile on his face. "I just have to do the work," he said. "I know I'm going to get that question a lot. It's going to be the same answer every time, though." - Josh Moon, The Montgomery Advertiser
01/27/10 - Senior Bowl, Tuesday: Terrance Cody's sloppy build may draw sneers, but the big man is helping himself this week with his stout play inside. Teams knew he could hold the point against double-teams, but seeing him stuff the action on television is much different than watching him in person blow up plays before they even get a chance to begin. Cody clearly isn't the same dominant player at the end of practice that he is in the beginning, but if substituted often, he could quickly emerge as one of the league's better nose tackles. As a specialist, it might be too much to think he'll earn a first-round pick, but there is no way he'll get out of the second round if he comes in healthy at the Combine. - Rob Rang and Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com
01/27/10 - Senior Bowl, Wednesday: Focusing on the line play Wednesday, it became very clear that NFL interior offensive linemen won't be looking forward to the arrival of massive SEC tackles Terrence Cody (Alabama) and Dan Williams (Tennessee). Everyone knows about Cody's nickname, "Mount," because the 370-pound behemoth gave SEC offensive lines fits over the past two seasons after being a junior college All-American. However, he relies fully on his brute strength to win battles inside while his pass rush ability and lateral movement are limited. That pure power he uses overwhelmed centers Jeff Byers (Southern Cal) and Ted Larsen (N.C. State) nearly every time during one-on-one drills. Those guys will have help on Sundays, however, and veteran centers are much stronger. In fact, LSU's Ciron Black moved inside to guard (also lining up at right tackle) and fared very well against Cody in drills and team play. And these practices didn't show Cody's lack of stamina once in the action for a few consecutive plays. Still, the quick burst he shows and his ability to eat blocks and create piles inside will remind scouts of long-time space-eater Ted Washington, possibly garnering him the type of late first-round slot (especially by a 3-4 team looking for a nose tackle) Washington earned coming out of Louisville almost two decades ago. - Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com
01/25/10 - Senior Bowl weigh-in: The smallest player measured was Ole Miss all-purpose star Dexter McCluster, who measured in at a shade over 5'08 and at 165 pounds. Not surprisingly, Alabama nose guard Terrance Cody was the heaviest player, tipping the scales at 370 pounds. Cody's sloppy build will move him down some teams' boards. Notre Dame offensive tackle Sam Young, the last man measured, was the tallest player. He came in at 6'07 (and 3/4) and 305 pounds. - Rob Rang, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com
01/25/10 - Terrence "Mount" Cody, the mountain in the middle of Alabama's defense this year, tipped the scales at 370 pounds during weigh-ins Monday for the Senior Bowl in Mobile - which is not a good thing. "It hurts," NFL network draft analyst Mike Mayock said of Cody's weigh-in. "And it a wasn't clean 370." Cody, who was listed at 354 prior to the 2009 season and at 365 on the Senior Bowl's initial roster, is already somewhat limited in the draft by the prevalent view that he is best suited as a 3-4 nose tackle, when many NFL teams play a 4-3. Mayock said his weight and conditioning would be the top questions he'd need to answer during Senior Bowl week, which is essentially a job interview for April's NFL draft. "How many quality snaps you get out of him is going to be directly proportionate to what kind of shape he's in," Mayock said of Cody. - Mike Herndon, Alabama Live
