re: Are offensive linemen headed for 400 pounds?

We had Big Dan McCullers not long ago and at the time he was the biggest player in CFB. Dan was too much of a gentle giant and would often play like he was half his size. On rare occasions, he would get mad and it was amazing when he did but he was very inconsistent in terms of playing angry.

I think that's a risk you run with guys this big. They grow up so much bigger than everyone else and playing against competition so much smaller that they play not to hurt their opponent (which they could easily do in HS and middle school).

And then there's conditioning.. I don't care how well you wear it there's a point where that much weight is bad for you and bad for your play.
