You lose leverage because of your inability to get pad level low so your height becomes a weakness. Strong 6'3" DTs that weigh 320 will get underneath you and push you back.


At his height and weight he wouldn’t be going up against DT’s bc he would be playing LT or RT.

BTW... Wasn’t Arkansas LT 6’’10?

New NCAA rules on recruiting means he wouldn’t be offered until junior year anyway..


Uhhhhmmm. Yeah...about that. That’s not correct. That’s for softball.

If Michael Jordan weighed 350+, would you consider him morbidly obese?

Of course.

100 lbs over your ideal weight is morbid obesity.

In fact, most football lineman are borderline to dangerously unhealthy. That’s why you see drastic changes often enough where former lineman have radical weight changes post retirement (Nate Newton, Alan Faneca, Mark Schlereth, etc) sometimes due to medically recommended advice.

he's certainly not morbidly obese. He's overweight, but he's 6-7.


You'd be surprised. By BMI, he is probably morbidly obese. BMI doesn't go that tall though.

I was 250 at 6'4" and considered obese. slimmed down now so just overweight.

That's an actual label with specs and not just a term for fat.

Looking at the pictures of him he certainly doesn't look morbidly obese.
