He's very large. Has anyone seen tape of him? Does he have an American football background?

Pretty raw JC player but as they say "you can't coach/teach size"

Be surprised if he didn't have a rugby background. Probably can run fairly well for his size.

Wonder if he might be better converting to NG. Would really plug up the middle, be hard to throw over and always draw a double team.

I was thinking he looks and moves like an SEC guard. He's not super-quick with his kickout against speed rushers in the online clips, but when he gets his hands on someone, he obliterates them. Maybe he gets a little quicker after working with Coach Griz and his staff, but either way, he's a mauler.
Just imagine running behind that guy.

Better to run behind him than to run into him!

Probably still too small for Bus to approve.

I would take 10 of him.
Maybe even 350.
