In HS we played a team that had these two really fat dudes right in the middle of the defense. Our first meeting that week coach wrote on the white board 

 

"Attack Cheeseburger Alley" and it was just ten plays that ran directly into them to wear them out 😂

I’m 45 and haven’t lifted a weight in years…so zero.  When I was 28 and about 175lbs I was doing reps of 5 with 2 plates.  I could easily bench my weight 35 times, and I’m not a professional athlete or a power lifter.

I don't want to be a jerk, but I think I have more familiarity with this space.

 

If you could do 5 reps of 225, you would not have been able to do 35 reps of 175.  You might have been able to get 20.

 

Strength to weight is not a linear relationship.  As you get heavier you do not progress in strength at the same rate.

Depend on your body type and how you train.  I had a slender build and focused on light weight high reps for endurance not high weight low reps for bulk.  Every other week I would include a max set of 5 reps.  These are completely two different types of workouts (aerobic vs anaerobic). For example, I was easily clearing 100 pushups on my military fitness test. There’s no mathematical equation that quantifies how many time a person can bench press their weight based on their reps at max weight. 
 

You’re not being a jerk…you’re just being wrong.

def worth a UDFA look.  The highlights (I know, they are biased) showed the ability to grab RB's who move laterally away.  If nothing else, he may occupy the space that frees up Oliver and Groot.  On the other hand, as @MarlinTheMagician noted, it's not a good sign a QB just tipped him over.  Seems like an OL could do that to him, although he would be coming from a stance and not running.

Don't sleep on his 40 time of 5.93. They timed it with a sundial.

Well that would immediately move Coleman to the 2nd slowest player in the league... I think LOL

So this is off topic but I've been meaning to ask you this before....JP51?  Is that inspired by the JP Losman/Takeo Spikes era?

Takeo absolutely but also Butkus as welll... I always wore 51... Takeo was one of my faves... I remember being at the Cincy game before FA yelling for him to come here!  Great player.

Run stuffing menace 

 

Pile Driver. Have him carry Josh for 1st downs

 

Goal Line back

 

in all seriousness I’d take a chance on him

 

Guy could lose 75 lbs with professional coaches and become a nightmare for the rest of the NFL

 

He could lose 75 lbs and still be 10lbs heavier than the heaviest current NFL player (379 lbs).

 

This thread is a really good sorting mechanism for those who "know ball" and those who don't.

 

It's not a good thing to be 85lbs heavier than every other player in the NFL. He's slow as molasses and you can simply GO AROUND players that big. Not to mention zero pass rush potential.

 

Being predictable in the NFL is not a good thing. A humungous guy who can't run and can't pass rush is not an asset. It's a speed bump.

Awesome!  That's much better than my original assumption 😁

I've watched his whole career at florida and he's not very good. He's just huge, and you notice him on the field. But he's doesn't really ever make a play and teams still run on Florida like crazy.

Any modern top program would have gotten this 370 lb kid and trimmed him down to 340 lb and made him a beast 

 

The fact the Gators let this kid gain a hundred pounds without ever trying to get this kid on a consistent program is mind-boggling 

 

Now I'm 100% sure they tried and he just didn't adhere so that's also a red flag..  like he would have never seen the field under Nick Saban until he got his weight under control

The Gators had this 6’ 6 450 lb. guy on the football team and then on their basketball team they have a 7’ 9 guy.  For goodness sake where are they finding these guys?!

We used to have monsters like that. Pat Williams, Ted Washington, Sam Adams - those were some heavy dudes!

 

But this boy is even bigger than them! He's massive! Doubt he'd hold up well in the NFL though, but who knows?
