Freshman Ed Alexander's sheer size — he's listed at 6-foot-2, 333 pounds — has left some players, coaches and media members with wide eyes. Alexander, a late qualifier from St. Thomas Aquinas, practiced with the rookies and reserves during Saturday afternoon's drills, but his tremendous size could lead to some early playing time. Miles earlier this week called Alexander a "ready-made" nose tackle, and several players have raved about his size. Greg Gilmore on Saturday during interviews called Alexander "Rougarou," his nickname, apparently. Rougarou is a creature in Cajun folklore similar to a werewolf.

I know Travonte brings depth and it would be good to have him here, but I bet Alexander can do as good or a better job at NT than him.

I would think if the talent was even TV would have a strength advantage being older and in a somewhat college strength program

Commented about this before but big Ed and RS are ready to play right away according to watch coach O has said. T.Valentine is at least a solid year from being a stud on this team, if and when he shows up.

Dude. T. Valentine is gonna show up a practice next week.......be in the rotation week 1.......and will probably be drafted in the 2nd round. He's not staying here 2 years.

I just don't understand how ppl can say this with so much certainty. Blows my mind. I hope he does have that much talent but a huge range of factors could make him stay here 2 years.

I saw a picture of that guy at check in. He is huge! I'd hate to be right across the scrimmage line from him.
