There has to be a reason why teams were passing on him. I think he showed up 400 pounds and he scared teams off.
 

But in the later rounds he would’ve been worth the gamble

That's what I was thinking, I was fine when we rolled the dice on seantrel Henderson and would have been fine with this risk too

Levitre got walked 5 yards back by a DT on his 1st preseason snap of his career. Fans labeled him a bust from that moment on.

 

Levitre was actually a good player.

 

A very good player.

 

One year due to an injury to one of our tackles (Demetrus Bell or Erik Pears or one of those stiffs) Levitre started a few games at tackle and it was clear he was the best tackle on the team.

 

He later signed that nice fat free agent contract with Tennessee.

I just love this pic
 

There will be no screwing around with this guy like there was with Ford Osiris is a guard specifically he’s a right guard. That’s where he’s going to play in the NFL it’s not complicated.

 

And he is a monster

[Chandler#81]

The double-edged sword of his flat feet makes him impossible to get around when he plants them and explodes. But he’s not very nimble..

He’s not a guy that you’re going to see running down the field leading blocking on a screen but I think he has pretty good foot work and feet for phone booth type work

 

What I found kind of amusing was, I’ve seen highlights of other players at Florida, where you get glimpses of Osiris Torrance, and it always looks like he’s smashing somebody and those videos he really was a dominant player in college

There is a Flag on the Play

 

        2 fouls by the offense 

1. Intentional grounding by # 64

2. Hit on a defenseless DLINEMAN.  

 

Penalty has been declined because the DLINE is embarrassed.

This guy is a straight beast!

I don't know a ton about McGovern, but I wish we had another O'Cyrus at LG

I remember that play!  DT had the palm of his hand planted on Levitre's chin.  I posted something to the effect that there's a reason why a hand to the face is illegal.

Heck I'd be fine with getting that penalty on an olineman, much better than some false starts or holding that nullifies a big gain.

Now I remember that play quite clearly.

Yeah there was another ***** on that line too.   That opening day OL was the least experienced non-strike offensive line to start an NFL game since the merger.

Yeah... but their Wang was huge

I think my biggest concern with him is his weight. He dropped 17 lbs to get down to 330 LBS? That concerns me over time. Is he one of “those guys”? 

 

On the flip side, he doesn’t give up sacks and went all year without a penalty. That sounds like a disciplined guy, and that is encouraging. Let us hope this is a pick we are rejoicing over a decade from now.
