(2) Jarren Reed 6’3” 306
(3) Grady Jarrett 6’1” 291 (I also found 305)
(6) Harrison Philips 6’3” 307
(7)Montravius Adams 6’4” 306
(8) DaQuan Jones. 6’4” 317
(9) Andrew billings 6’1” 311
I’m sure that you could generate a similar, yet different, list using a different grading system. But you’re point stands on you don’t have to be 330+ to be a good Nt.

Thanks for looking that up Bengalbug. That is cool, I didn't know there were that many NT's under 320 which backs up what we were talking
about even more. Nose Tackle is more the position a certain player is comfortable playing rather than size. Strength is huge when playing NT
and these players are all very strong just like Byron Murphy. We all remember how much Billings could squat, it was insane.
