If they want him to drop. They must see him as a 3 Technique.

 

[LuCane]

High hopes for this dude. Seems like he has a great attitude, so that helps.

Of course, I knew you knew that….

Haha it’s all good! You were on it. People like the bench press numbers (and who doesn’t?) but you see those Olympic lifts that require a lot of extra full body power, it’s pretty impressive!

Bro, 450 in HS, wtf...

Had a college friend bench that much when he was in HS. Was also 5’10ish, so he was never going to play D1 football

A defensive tackle that came to Miami, played TE in high school, sounds familiar?

Oh yeah.

I promise you that’s who I see when I watch his tape. Especially knowing the OG was like this coming out of high school as well. If we hit the JACKPOT again. We will be returning to our GLORY DAYS.

Oh yeah.

That guy is strong ASF, but how would that translate to a football field. I know a power movement. Is that good for bull rush or explosion off the ball?

 

[Canesfan1899]

That is correct

This kid has all of the physical tool to be very very special.

A bully in the trenches: something we’ve been looking for at dt for some time. Just keep learning.

The snatch and the clean and jerk develop explosive power and speed so would translate to football that regard. Feld probably programs in cleans during the offseason.

I dabbled in both years ago. My trainer had 10 points of focus in snatch technique and I was always mentally wiped out after training, even with a max weight of only 135 pounds (like I said, I dabbled, and was already in my early 40s).
