Didn’t see this posted yet but if this doesn’t get you pumped about the big fella…

I remember seeing an interview with him a few months ago and he was asked about how much he enjoyed pancaking people and who he specifically remembered dominating. He gave a diplomatic answer(basically he wasn't going to name names) but you could see him light up thinking about destroying opponents.

That is something we have lacked since Norwell left. A dude that just craves violently dominating the guy in front of him.

Yup.  Total athletic freak of a man, and very smart as well.

I have been impressed with him for a while, still can't believe we got him and didn't have to move up.

“Mean as poo”.....I like it!

He was the LT in this draft that I refused to look at after last year and years of neglect or incompetence. Love his approach to the game, his physicality and smarts. Sounds like a bigger and faster but slightly less agile Gross.

All those glowing reviews - only to give us a B for the pick 

[Proudiddy]

Take it from Proudiddy.  I hate using first rounders on OL, and I fuging love this pick.  I thought there was absolutely no way he fell to us...  something finally fell in our favor and we have a franchise tackle for the first time since Gross, with the potential to be the best we have ever had.  

*SHWWWWWING!*

People probably don’t realize a 4.93 40 time is faster than what 99% of people posting on this board could put up. And he’s 6’4 320. Just a freak athlete

usually football traits are strong, big, and fast, and you only get to chose two.

ickey is all three

Well, time to take matters in hand. Again.

Less agile?!?

Gross ran a faster 3 cone shuttle and 2 more bench press but Ichy got him on size and straight speed. Look it up, not a knock just using our best as the comparison. Gross was really agile. Very close acceleration. I was looking it over last night. They play similarly, smart and mean with a loads of talent. 

Edit: Like it's really close, again not meant as a knock.

I ran a 4.8 at 165 in HS and was considered a decently athletic avg HS football player. Lmao that 40 time at that size is freakish
