Daniel Faalele Tips The Scales At 384 Pounds
3 years agoMinnesota offensive tackle Daniel Faalele measured in at 6-foot-8 and 384 pounds at the NFL scouting combine on Friday, making him one of the biggest players in combine history. He's believed to be the heaviest player at the combine since Wisconsin's Aaron Gibson weighed in at 386 pounds in 1999. Faalele said on Thursday that he weighed 426 pounds when he arrived at Minnesota. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay both have Faalele ranked as the sixth-best offensive tackle in this year's draft. "I would say how athletic I am for my size, and how powerful I am," Faalele said Thursday when asked how his size impacted how he plays. "Just how strong I am. Being a bigger body I have longer arms, so just using those intangibles to my advantage."
