I had a friend's father that was a big guy that played football locally in the 60’s and it killed his knees. He died, I think in his late 60’s, because a blood clot had formed behind the knee he couldn't really use. (He walked w/a Cain.) It traveled to his lungs and he died. :(

That’s a big boy. My husband and I were at a store the other and talked to a guy that could have been that big. My husband is a big guy over 200 lbs and I am at 96 lbs. Can you imagine what we looked like next to him? LOL

I remember when I first learned how to use a spin to deflect the energy of a tackler.

I ALSO remember the first time I got tackled by someone who KNEW how to tackle.

Makes me think of the line Meredith said about Walt Garrison.....

“If it was third down, and you needed four yards, if you’d get the ball to Walt Garrison, he’d get ya five. And if was third down and ya needed 20 yards, if you’d get the ball to Walt Garrison, by God, he’d get you five.”

Typical high school kid trying to stop him would be as successful as Rachel Corrie vs Caterpillar.

I used to work with a big guy who had four extra large teenage and preteen sons. He and his wife would be frequently found at the grocery store each pushing two carts piled high with chow. It was a good thing he had a good job to afford to feed those kids.

Besides CU already has Ralphie for that position

Ralphie causes a lot of false starts for CU on offense.

On defense, he's offsides a LOT.

All of our HS Senior impact players in the area are already verbal commits to one college or another. The articles I read about Picard show no mention of any school commitment or any specific offers.

Perry was called ‘biscuit’ by his teammates because they said that he was one biscuit away from 300 pounds. And this guy weighs 400 pounds.

The only thing I can think is if he is recruited (especially from a D1 school), a lot of that fat will be turned to muscle via their trainers.

Somehow I doubt a D1 school will recruit a 400-pound running back on the basis of foot speed alone. Most schools will look for backs who can occasionally make a tackler miss. This young man looks impossible to miss.

He’s pretty light on his feet for being so big! I could see him being an offensive tackle in college and maybe being used to run the ball in goal line situations, like the Fridge was used.

If he isn’t running a 4.3 40, no school will pick him up as a running back. Now, if he can catch a football, maybe a tight end.

Reminds me of Leon Hart who, in his day, was a monster ...

Leon Joseph Hart (November 2, 1928 – September 24, 2002) was an American football tight end and defensive end. He was raised in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh.

He won the Heisman Trophy and the Maxwell Award while at the University of Notre Dame in 1949 and played in the National Football League for eight seasons, all with the Detroit Lions.

He holds the distinction of being the only lineman to win three National Titles in both college and the pros. He was the last of only two lineman ever to win the Heisman Trophy. Also, he was one of only two players (besides Angelo Bertelli) to win the Heisman Trophy, a national championship, and be the first overall pick in the NFL draft all in the same one-year span, until Cam Newton did this in 2011.
