Don't you think Chester is a tad tall and lean to be ready to start there next year?
Not at all. He’s a little tall for a C but is flexible & thick in the lower body. Played 81 snaps over 4 games this year. He is next, they really like him.

That's good to hear. I know they really like him, I just wasn't sure it was at Center long term. Good to see he's thick and flexible, too. I don't keep up with recruiting like that, just knew he was tall. And I remember a couple of early fall practice reports saying he was getting beat a bit, but not to worry, they were still really high on him, he just needed to get a little stronger. Apparently he has and will continue to over the next 9 months. I'd much rather him slide in there to keep the continuity we have coming back and not have to move a bunch of guys around.

The top 5 most talented might be:
LT Campbell LG Delly C Chester RG Jones RT Heard with Frazier being utility OL/plug in for injury anywhere.
But of course talented doesn’t include experience, chemistry, communication, knowing the playbook etc

Chester has always projected to center
Has he? I thought he came in as a tackle and was moved to center. Either way, sounds like he's there now for good.

Being tall is also not a disadvantage at center,
Sure it is. But it's one that can be overcome by special athletes. Which apparently they think Chester is.
quote:
ust look at how good of a career Ethan Pocic has had
He's an outlier. And it looks like Chester is too.
Out of curiosity, I looked it up. I post the link I found at the bottom. But this guy "took 53-man active rosters for the 2023 season (just after final roster cuts at the end of preseason)" and took an average of the heights and weights of the 46 active Centers across the league."
quote:
The average height of an NFL Center is 75.71 inches (just under 6’3 3/4" tall).
The tallest were 6'6", the shortest was 6'1".
quote:
The average weight of an NFL Center is 308.09 pounds.
Heaviest was 335, the lightest was 293.
quote:
There are a total of 10 guys listed at 6’5" or taller. Out of those 10, only 4 are listed at 6’6".
quote:
In fact, there are 6 Centers 6’2" or shorter on NFL Rosters to start the season in 2023.
So there are 2 more NFL Centers that are 6'1" or 6'2" than there are ones over 6'5". And there are none over 6'6". So that shows there is a disadvantage to being too tall for a Center, simply based on leverage. But there are outliers that overcome that by being special athletes and having strong lower bodies and being very flexible. Like, thankfully, Chester is, according to Lester. And the staff keeping him at Center seems to confirm that.

Yes he’s always been viewed as a Center

It was disgusting that 3 separate times he couldn’t snap the ball correctly at Bama. Set up the INT.
