We haven't had Paul Bunyan type of a Offensive Lineman since Jim Mills (1979-83). Mills was recruited from Canada as a Tight End, but he transformed beautifully into an Offensive Tackle (6'8" 288 pounds back then)! :angel7: :hello1: :boxing: :read: :brilsmurf: :car8: :werecomingforyou: :leftfighter3: :wav: :thumbup: :zook: :dubthum: :grouphuuug: :flag202: =D>

Hope he pans out. I would think with his size, he would be a let tackle instead of RT. need to play with more of a knee bend.

definitely got the size and ability to occupy his assignment. i expected to see at least a few pancakes with his size advantage over most of his opposing defensive linemen. perhaps the up stance is due to his overwhelming size advantage. he will have to get lower in his stance, as irse pointed out, to block out college level defensive linemen.

good to see he will be in a warrior uni.

definitely fills the o line. wonder if he has the hands for tackle eligible plays.

i like the way this year's team is filling out with size, speed and talent.

Doesn't have agility and feet for tackle, but neither did some of the OTs recently...maybe just a huge guard?
Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do. :zook:
