6'6 275 pounds. He is like the poster child of no pun intended , the biggest change in the game of football in my lifetime.

For instance John Kolb of the Pittsburg steelers play in the 70's was 6'2 260lbs and played tackle. In the late 70's he finished 4th two years in a row for the world strongest man competition.

John hannah whose nickname was the hog and who is genuinely considered the best interior lineman in NFL history and played until the mid 80's was 6'2 265 lbs, someone once said when he turned the corner on a sweep he looked like two guys wrestling around in a burlap bag.

Now we have some qb's as almost as big as the latter two players.

The game has changed so much that a huge mountain of a man weighing almost 275 lbs and standing 6'6" tall is getting blown up so bad its making the whole offense almost come to a standstill at times. The game has changed so much it has passed by this huge man.

consider this Jim Ringo played center granted back in the 50's and 60's. He is an NFL hall of famer and no doubt the best OL ever in school history. he was 6'1 and 230 lbs.
