Eagles Draft a Humongous Big Tackle Out of Miami
Published:
The Birds took an absolute hoss out of The U:
Dude is 6’9″ and 346 pounds. He played left tackle for the Canes and obviously got a ton of experience playing against the best of the best in the college ranks.
This tweet jumped off the screen and slapped me right across the face:
Super intrigued to see what this guy can do in the NFL. He is humongous big, as Ilya Bryzgalov once said. We’ll find out whether or not his size is a boon or a detriment at the next level, with the caveat that the Birds have a new offensive line coach for the first time in 13 years. Maybe Jeff Stoutland comes back in a special role in which he is tasked with strictly developing this dude.
