Very long arms, he could make a tackle, just needs to add some weight.

I’ve seen him in person. He is definitely not 6’2. He is about 6’4 or 6’5 wtf lol

I would also think OT, but at 6'2.5 he would be considered a pretty short OT, especially at the pro level.

A little short, but the long arms and athleticism matter more.

6'2 5/8 That's pretty crazy
Maybe they surgically removed two or three vertebrae. I'm sure there's a logical explanation.

I said it back when he was being recruited. Whoever got in his ear and told him to pick basketball was an idiot.

If he would have decided to pick football, he would have been a project for sure. I watched him play in highschool the one year he did play. Brian didn't have good hands. He dropped a lot of passes. He also really didn't like contact. Was one of the biggest guys on the field, but would try to juke people out instead of lowering his shoulder. And that's when he was playing against small guys at Episcopal.
Nothing against the young man. I've meet him quite a few times and he is a great guy. Football was just never going to be his sport. He just got the short end of the stick and didn't grow another 5-6 inches like his brothers did.

Glenn Davis had Hall of Fame potential as an OT, but he was way too soft to ever make it.

Both brothers definitely went in the wrong sport. I guess he can join the Primerica pyramid once he's cut from the first mini-camp.
Savage! Max is back!

Man I remember back in 2008 being 14 and playing AAU and hearing about and seeing some 6'5 kid playing for Sports Academy who everyone said was the #1 8th grader in the country. People said he would grow to 7'0 and be a top 5 pick even back then. I'm sure Bridgewater remembers all of that hype and wonders how it went away so fast. But that's why it's so bad to hype kids up so much so early. You just never know how things will turn out for them.
Also some notable names on the list after Bridgewater in that link I posted:
4. Julius Randle
9. Jabari Parker
14. Andrew Harrison
103. James Young
128. Aaron Gordon
151. Jordan Mickey
160. Noah Vonleh
All NBA Draft picks

If he would have stayed another year he may have broke 6-2 going the wrong way!!
Posted on 4/5/18 at 7:38 pm to thunderbird1100
But can he punt?.....

Dude peeked in the 8th grade
Always wondered why everyone stopped recruiting him

Bridgewater is participating in the LSU pro day for the sport he probably should have played at LSU, but they measured him up officially this morning at just 6'2 5/8", at 273 pounds. No wonder that dude struggled so much inside in basketball. I thought he was at least 6'3.5-6'4 or so, nope, 6'2.5" basically.
He dominated hs ball because of his size and arm length. No reason in hell that dude should have been playing bball at a P5 school.
