Any thoughts on this guy? I've seen a few games, and he's a force. He's only 6'2 about 245lbs. But his stats and film are excellent. He's like a mini Bosa. Is he too small for the NFL? Thoughts?

Never saw a 245LB interior lineman in my lifetime succeed at the NFL level.

Nikita Whitlock had some moments in New York.

Might I ask when did you start watching football?

Bottom line is....A football player is a football player and, if he's good enough & driven enough, he'll MAKE a place for himself.

Tim Tebow.
You never saw Alan Page (HOF DT) at 245 lbs? He played all through the 1970s.

Clearly not. Also worth considering the average lineman size in the 70's.

He is in Canada for a reason.

No. DT.
Quick wiki search shows they replaced Hynoski with Whit... plus saw a few snaps in obvious pass rushing situations. So when you get that kind of value... sure? But his primary function with the Gmen appears to have been FB seeing as how he had double the offensive snaps.

I always liked his theme song:
-
Given that DL is one of our strengths I don't think we spend a pick on him.
He had 1/4 of his season tackles in one game. Take away the 8 solo tackles he had against Utah and he's averaging under 2 solo per game.. He's currently slotted below even Tyquan Lewis in DE ratings for the NFL.
He's no Bosa.. because Bosa holds point against the run as well as rush the passer. He's at best a pure pass rush/ST player. I don't know how he plays in space -- is he agile enough to stay with backs and slot receivers? Doubtful or else he wouldn't have played college in the trenches..

Wait, is this serious? A 245lb DTackle in 2018?

Wasn’t arguing that.

I think he would be more of a "Middle Guard"....which makes him more of a Middle Linebacker than a DT.
If he has plans to play in the NFL at that weight...that is what he would have to be.
I think Joe Schobert was listed at like 230 when he was drafted...but is now up to like 245. So that would be the way for this guy to go.

He's listed at 255. Yes, I'm wondering if any team would take him late based on how good he's looked.
He's a beast on the field. They could possibly switch positions with him.
