This was obviously a joke, someone at 6'9 would not be a good fit for an NT.

 

However, I do believe as NFL scouting ranges extend beyond US borders, we will see more non-football guys entering the league at the non-skill positions due to their physical dominance. I think this year's draft is proof that we are heading that way.

The story was that this is the guy in question: Hafthor Bjornsson.

 

If your name is Half Thor, then you better be awesome. Which he is.....

I'm not sure if the screening process in Strongman competitions is anything like it is in the NFL.  His sample may be radioactive.  Those guys are notorious steroid abusers.

Yea, but has he ever played football? He'd have to pick up and learn very quickly the playbook, adjustments, tackling techniques, block shedding...

 

Don't get me wrong, I used to be the guy that wanted to sign Sumo Wrestlers from Japan, until I realized the NFL demands more than physicality.

It may have been a joke, but the actual Icelander retweeted Jim Irsay's tweet this morning. Interesting. post-1193-13697387719424_thumb.jpg

EDIT: No, the account is not verified, but he posts Instagram pictures of himself a lot. That's how I know he is the legit Thor Bjornsson.

Actually, between those 2, I would rather take Arnold Schwarzenegger AKA "Dutch" from the film the "Predator"..."If it bleeds, we can kill it." Sounds tougher to me in the huddle.  :lol:  :funny:

      It will never happen, but...

      Bro I don’t get people man …. Like our expectations is 1 year to fast. We knew Richardson needed time to develop and we would see flashes of amazing stuff and bad stuff. Like we knew his accuracy was a work in progress it takes time. ( doesn’t help when wr drop the balls and quit on routes) if this play would have been last year fans would have been fine. Like this is his rookie year basically and they putting the team on his back exactly what we knew would couldn’t do. Like lean on JT and grind out games. The defense brining back all 11 starters and being this bad Gus has to go. This is why I don’t resign guys early

      I think Hull should be #2 to be honest. He can run and he's got a good set of hands.

      College Football 2024, surprise playoff teams

      By holeymoley99 · Posted

      Indiana -3 Ucla was my top pick of the week and earned me some nice spending money. Rourke was surgical making every right decision, he may be better than his brother who is in the NFL. UCLA cant score so they weren't challenged. We will find out this weekend if Rutgers is as good as I think they are as they go to Va Tech who seems to have righted themselves. Monangai is a beast running the ball and doesnt seem to tire as the game goes on.

      It's not that the Colts won't win, it's that the Colts don't know how to win. For years, the problem has been the same structural problem with the Colts. Ballard seems to have gone to the Grigson School of General Football Management (who must have learned from Matt Millen), and Steichen hasn't learned the lessons of Reich and Pagano. It doesn't matter who the people are if you don't know how to win the game.

      Must change This Week - through 2 games the Colts has had the ball for 39.49 minutes. Steichen needs to make a statement with this home game on Sunday
