He's *listed* at 285 lbs, and with all big guys, you know that means it's really more. (Ben Roethlisberger is listed at 240 lbs, 1 lb below the 241 he weighed when he went to the NFL combine in 2004, lol)
He's listed as the same weight as Justin Smith was. He is listed as having 35 pounds on Von Miller, 20 pounds on Terrell Suggs, and only 3 pounds less than JJ Watt.
If you're running a 3-4 with the current staff, the DL is Dunlap/Reader/Atkins.
Agree to an extent as we do not know yet and yes he could play DE in both schemes but also as an edge player with the bigger bodies playing the DT and DE as the base 3...Specifically as pertaining to nickel D as being discussed I even stated this earlier having 5 D lineman... I am looking at modern 3-4 defenses not the Tim Krumrie 1980s 3-4.
