Just did a quick check of four NFL teams that run the 4-3. Buffalo, Miami, NYG, and Dallas.
Buffalo's DEs weigh 291 and 302
Miami: 258 and 268
NYG: 268 and 278
Dallas: 260 and 260
Kept looking. Seems like some teams like 'em around 290-300 (one starter goes 324), but others prefer 260-270.
To be honest, I expected bigger guys. Nkemdiche looks like an end to me rather than a tackle because of his mobility, but maybe he will struggle in the pass rush. I'm gonna assume that because this was his first game, he's gonna be a splendid DE.

People keep talking weight but he's roughly 300lbs and has a six pack. I don't think his problem is speed. His problem right now is overpursuit and technique. Right now all he can do is bullrush which means he was getting that pressure just off strength and athleticism. Scary thought.
