jvilletiger 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 have seen discussions of him playing OT and DE ... thought i read that he wants to play DE. i know we here on AE have discussed him as an OT. curious ... rivals lists his 40 as 5.1 ... does he have the speed to play DE in the sec, even on the strong side. plus, 6'-8" is an awfully tall DE. Most are around 6'-4" with a few outliers up towards 6'-6". I dont want to research elite college and nfl DE that may be taller. thoughts? seems destined for OT whether he realizes it or not. Ted Hendricks, the Mad Stork, was a pretty good DE at 6'9". Quickness in the first two steps is more important than 40 speed for a DE. True. I looked at Lemonier's 40 time coming out of high school. I wasn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,405 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I actually thought of "too tall", but could not readily think of any others ... jones was a pretty good one! he helped make those cowboy teams of the 70's and 80's fun to watch.

Armstead isn't close to Peppers when it comes to athleticism. He doesn't have that fluidity that makes a great DE. Kid should realize his future is on the OL. I hear those tackle spots pay out pretty good in the NFL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer will be 50%, 100% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
