Thought I read on Mack's comments that he was being tried out at OL??
Guess will be up to the coaches to determine where he will help the most - if he makes the cut.
i dont think they'll cut him especially if they asked him to come out for the team, he's doing better right now than some of the guys whos been playing football for several years

Yeah, he looks like hes been playing for years, great athlete and hope he gets a shot to play.
Even though there is only a 10 second clip of him in action on the Honolulu Advertiser website, he looked like he belonged.
Has a huge frame that dwarfed the defensive end (i wonder how long he has done serious weight training) and you could tell that he used to play basketball because he was very light on his feet. Very impressive prospect, could turn out to be a Wayne Hunter type of deal just a natural at the position.
Good height for the tackle spots... if he's got quick feet. Good be a good blind side protector... could add another 20 lbs. to that frame. Looks good.
