And why is our DL that was supposed to be good
Did you watch Auburn last year?

They need all the help they can get.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; JJ Pegues might have a big adjustment to make and might have to seek some untapped toughness to play 43 DT or 34 DE, but he’s more athletic than any other big DL I can remember Auburn having. That’s when considering Nick Fairley, too.

This move was needed.

It’ll also theoretically get him a better chance at being drafted.

A 6’2 300 pound TE isn’t something sought after in today’s NFL.

He’s an interesting DL prospect. Garner was never going to let him play DL. It’s interesting that we’re moving guys there now that Garner is gone

My argument for a year was that JJ would never play DL at Auburn because of Garner.

He's not 300 LBs. They had him losing weight all off season. Last I heard he was below 280 and still dropping (though I assume he's trying to gain weight again).

Our DL was young and inexperienced last year. Coming into this year most expected them to continue their progression instead of needing to convert a TE to help.
