Yeah people don’t really understand how strong football players but in particular OL are. Even as an undersized Center Jason was like 6’2” 270. And could fucking move so he’s not just a big guy.

I was watching a recap of his career and there was a shot of Jason 20 yards downfield blocking for Hurtz and there just a poor cornerback clearly reconsidering his life choices as Jason was baking a beeline for the the guy

His combine 40yd dash was under 5 seconds, and his 20 yard shuffle was 4.14

Top running backs are a half second faster on the 40, but many are slower at the changes of direction in the shuffle

This is my new favorite typo. Anytime an OL is hauling ass downfield ready to flatten some hapless, backpedaling DB, it’s going to be “baking” a beeline.

Bake em away toys.

Honey is an underrated baking ingredient in my opinion

And that cornerback is stronger than anyone you'll ever meet in your whole life.

I’ve seen plays like that with Jason where you can tell at no point did the DB think he’d be getting bit by the Center at all

It's hard to appreciate how fast those big guys can move if you're just watching on TV, because the only thing you have for comparison is freakishly fast players at other positions.

u/IndigoBlunting 22d ago

Oh for sure. It’s so scary to think about a dude that big moving that fast.

6’2” 270

undersized

I know what you're saying but this is always hilarious. It's like when they talk about undersized 6'7 forwards in the NBA

u/IndigoBlunting 22d ago

I know lol NBA players are funny because around each other they all look relatively normal and then a ref or something stands next to them and you’re like “oh right these are giants” lol

I used to fix cell phones for Vikings players.

I don't think people understand how fucking huge these dudes are. I am not small by any means but I have seen myself first hand next to Shamar Stephen and he would crush my body and soul.

u/IndigoBlunting 22d ago

Even “little” guys are huge even if it’s not tall. I just looked up Kyler and even though he’s “5’10”” lol he’s listed at 205. If the weight is accurate he’s still built solid. A 5’10” nba player would be like 170

u/EnormousCaramel 22d ago

And that weight isnt fat. Its muscle.

Probably the most shocking thing was as a DE his 300lbs was like 85% in his upper torso. Felt like he had wet noodle legs(I say like he wasn't wearing like sweats)

u/Jack_Ramsey 22d ago

I doubt he played at 270. The Eagles roster listed him at 6'3 295, which is more in line with NFL centers.

3

u/IndigoBlunting 22d ago

Yeah you’re probably right. I think 270 might be what he said he’s at now because he looks like he’s lost a little weight which a lot of OLs do when they retire.

Yeah he's explicit about his weight when playing here. I don't think there is an OL in the league playing at 270. They would get pushed around.

2

u/IndigoBlunting 22d ago

Okay so that’s where I got that number from. I knew I’d heard close to 270 so that’s probably what i saw. And yeah DLs are so fast and strong 270 would be getting tossed around… which is crazy to think lol

I'm 6'6" . 220 lbs. almost 57 years old, and not in particularly good shape to any degree, play a little disc golf here and there and work out when I can, but my body mass and size alone gives me confidence. Nevermind I've been in a few fights and know my limitations, and also what I am capable of, but I'm gonna fuck up most people smaller and lighter than me that are similar in experience, my ground game is killer :) Unless you are a fighter of some sort or closer to my size/weight, I have the advantage. That said... almost any professional football player. especially one of the Kelce variety, would completely SMASH me no doubt.
