Alfredo Gutierrez - International Pathways OL

This guy is enormous, can move well at times, and is a good story.

1st time starting a thread and attempting to post vids and tweets so bear with me...

Measurables: 6'9"
332 lbs
27" vertical
8'1" broad jump
23 reps on bench
4.65 40 yard.

These were reported at his pro day and there is a link. Lacks the 40 though which I really wanted to see to verify:



A little backstory:

Who is Alfredo Gutierrez?

A tweet that gets some info wrong (the guy in the video yells out "23" for the number of reps.



Now here is a little video. Only a few minutes long and not much meat in it. Looks like some sloppy workouts at times to me and some slow feet. I was wondering how in the world he ran a 4.65, but watch at the 2:09 mark. When this dude lifts up his heels as he moves, he turns into a completely different animal.



Here is a page with an embedded you tube video. Not much information but it looks to be from 2015 and says he runs a 6.5 40.

ALFREDO GUTIERREZ '15 RECRUITING PROFILE

I pulled out the video from the page as it is interesting to watch: (it is from 2014)



With the limited information available, here is my take:

He doesn't look particularly good moving horizontally or shuffling his feet. He actually looks pretty bad at times. He stays pretty high which can cause problems with quick change of direction, and probably leverage. Going in a generally forward direction however, he stops being lazy with his feet and gets after it. Not calling the kid lazy, but when he moves lazily, things just don't look good. When he is properly set up and positioned, his muscles can fire well.

There are a few shots of him with a basketball and when he wants to, he is not a lumbering giant. If other people weren't around, you might not guess at his size because he is well proportioned. This is going to sound crazy but I would throw some balls his way and see if he has good hands. Going back to that video with the dunk at the end, he is 6'9 332 lbs and can fluidly (and with body control) jump off one leg. He looks to be at his best when moving forward and attacking so why not give him a look as a jumbo tight end?

It would be great to see a giant like him smashing people then leaking out to cause havoc within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage.

Hopefully the links come through and enjoy the wild speculation!

There is no way in hell he runs a 4.65 at 6'9 332 lbs.

I didn't look into the details, but it looks like these guys join their teams through training camp and are then able join the practice squad with a special exemption. At that point they are not eligible to be activated during the season.

You did good for a first thread. Never hurts to bring bodies in to see what they got, love long shots who prove doubters wrong

My understanding is international pathway players don't play, but get pro coaching on designated team, sponsored by nfl.

The international Pathway is ridiculous, he lives in TJ and went to high school in San Diego. He is most likely a dual citizen who was born in the US.

Thanks 49ers808. Agree on the long shots and this guy certainly fits the bill.

Is this dude the new Lawrence Okoye?

hahahah. The real number is probably some combination of 4,6, and 5 but not in that order.

Maybe that's metric time.
