This kid could probably get up to 315 and not loose any speed and not even look 315.... He would make a great OT at the next level...



So a guy that has never played OT, who was a run blocking TE and decent at best, would be a great OT in the NFL?? Not average or just making a roster, but great?? Right, right... Yall do realize the type of players he would be blocking in the NFL?? DEs and OLBs that run in the 4.5s. If he cant even block the average DEs and OLBs that we played against at 265lbs, how will he do it in the NFL against the best of the best?

I mean hell if he can add 30 more lbs and not lose any speed, why not let him get up to 330 and become the next Joe Thomas...

Clement was an average player in college. Thats it.

Clement was an excellent run-blocking TE.

Exactly. How the hell anyone can say he wil be a "great "tackle in the NFL is beyond me. He has been practicing and training at TE for 4 years and is avg but that poster thinks he can gain 40 lbs( easily) and NOT LOOSE(LOSE) speed, and be a GREAT OT in the NFL. Where there are 280 lb animals that run 4.6's. His best chance at an NFL career is to stay at the position he has been practicing at for 4 years.

Many people forget that Jason Peters was a tight end at Arkansas. He's one of the best tackles on the planet. Peters did play around 295-300 at arky though
