AUBourne 425 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I have no idea if AU is going to recruit him or not. I just found his size so remarkable I thought it was worth talking about. He is listed at 6'10" and 400 pounds. OL recruit Harry Dumervil from Oakland Park, Florida. He attended a camp in Knoxville and received an offer from the Vols. His cousin Elvis Dumervil plays for the Broncos. Guy would be a force on the field and the media would love him if he makes it at the next level. I think it will be many years before 400 pounders becomes a common sight. Harry Dumervil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wareagletd 0 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I don't think we will ever see 400 pound players in the NFL. This kid will drop 50+ pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietfan 233 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Wish the kid the best and hope he's a beast in football! But he always has a career in pro wrestling....isn't it about time for another "Andre the Giant"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird 60,565 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The problem with players of his size is not his weight, because his frame will hold it easily, but rather it is the flexibility. OL need to be flexible enough to get lower than the DL. At 6' 10" I'm not sure he could get low enough quick enough to secure the leverage needed to achieve his block.
