It's not hard to understand. Players that are good in college get drafted high in the draft. Whether or not they pan out is really no concern of mine. I'm a COLLEGE football fan. Bielema and Pittman have had a lot of linemen drafted in the NFL which means they have had a lot of linemen that were very good in college.

Fat, slow, players. Welcome to B1G football

I remember seeing a stat when I was very young...back when the Dallas Cowboys were great in the early '90s. The average weight of their offensive line was the biggest in the NFL at about 305lbs.

The average weight of NFL OL's now is 310.

That wasn't some kind of knock on Arky - just interesting how much bigger and faster players are now than 20 years ago. Safeties weren't 220 lbs running 4.4 40's back then either.

Just to put the astronomical growth rate in to perspective, Jerry Jones was an OL when he played at Arkansas.

Calm down, Mizzou fan. We don't play until Thanksgiving. You'll have to take a number.

Absolutely. I don't really know anything about your team, but in true Rant spirit I'll make dick comments nonetheless.

SCAR's two deep averages 6-5 318 and they ain't fat in the least.

After the opener vs. South Dakota St. and the game at Toledo?

SEC
Arkansas: DE Trey Flowers and DT Darius Philon. Flowers will be counted on to anchor the Razorbacks' pass rush at least as effectively as Jacksonville Jaguars draftee Chris Smith did a year ago. Flowers (6-4, 265) made five sacks, 13.5 tackles for loss, and forced a team-high three fumbles last season. He was solid against the run, as well. Philon flashed star potential as a freshman last year, making 46 stops and nine TFLs from an interior position. Philon can also shrink the pocket as an inside pass rusher, which will make things easier for Flowers on the edge. Both will be improved and more productive in 2014, and 15 sacks between them is a realistic projection. Other SEC tandems to watch: Kentucky's Za'Darius Smith and Bud Dupree; Ole Miss' Robert Nkemdiche and C.J. Johnson.
