356 Pound Dude Running Anchor on a 4X100 Meter Relay Team.

not sure if you ever ran track.
but two big ass niggas like that running like that is pretty damn interesting.
He ran as a prank...he didn’t win... nothing interesting happened. Actually, it’s foolish and selfish for him to run. They have no chance to win with a fat fuck running anchor. That’s equivalent of a 100 pound sucker playing left guard in football
ok.
i hear you and understand what you are saying.
but that was still a feat.
and it likely was in a trash heat so it was inconsequential.
Nice athlete especially for someone of his size. That's not easy to do and requires a lot of mental toughness. I'm not sure what his goal are, but hopefully, he catches on with an NFL team.
Watching the video you can tell he has a low center of mass, decent strength which points to interior play (C, G) on the OL. He would get exploited badly trying to book the ends of an OL. He just doesn't have the lateral quickness. Moreover, you can see he struggles once he's unanchored(which happened easily a few times) against talent that likely won't get drafted or even make the practice squad for most teams.
Eitherway, keep working..
Sounds like you know a lot about Hugh level football. Ex coach or su'm?
Do you think he has a real shot at the NFL?
Supposedly his 40 is 5.68. Not bad. Shit Tom Brady's is 5.23.
His football stats.

The video does say LSU commit so he has time to grow and work on his fundamentals. I like that he already shows explosive-violent hands and shows eagerness to attack his defender and that bodes well for the run game. Some players never show that at any level.
The only catch is you have to be smart with your craft because it can be exploited. You can see at times he over commits, loses leverage, and essentially gives the defender an opportunity to make a play.
A perfect example is what #104 did. That player engaged him at the elbow level(prevents him from fully extending his hands, forearm, arm.) which subtly setups up #699 to overcommit to re-establish his hands. As soon as ol boy did that, #699 used a subtle, pull towards him at the locked elbow followed by a subtle over-under technique and ran passed him....right to the QB!
Bottomline they'll teach him that stuff at LSU, they'll teach him to sink and more importantly his feet spacing. If he takes in the coaching then he'll have a chance to be anything from a mid-draft pick-free agent pick up.
Good Luck! If he's your kin stay on him to be humble and coachable.

But he has good footwork though...meaning he can be taught proper weight distribution ...
He has great "starting" footwork and if that was all there was to interior line play then he'd be set. But it's not, especially, when he gets into that SEC conference dawg and goes against those monsters that will be lining up across from him.
They will be on occasion bigger, faster, and way stronger than the defenders he's going up against in these clips. Moreover and beyond the athletic side, those dudes are coached way the hell up. Pulling, ripping, hand placement/technique, lower-base feet-weight distribution, flipping hips, leverage, counter leverage he's going to see it all.
His feet are going to be a plus BUT understanding the mental game of trench warfare is even more critical at this stage and sets him up for the next level.
Bottomline, it's going to come down to how good he wants to be, how much he's willing to put in and if he's coachable.
...for trying to get a heart attack for laffs????
Yeah but In football pads them mf are freaky and devastating
they gonna knock the living shit outta somebody
