I wonder if anyone in the Broncos organization has checked with Brian Shaw, the local man competing in Worlds Strongest Man about whether he would be interested in playing Nose Guard in the 3-4. A little tall, 6'8, he has the weight-- 370, and probably good footwork since he played college basketball. Certainly has the strength to take on two blockers

no thanks. weight lifting strength and football strength are totally different. he'd look lost out there.

Hmmm it would make for a great story, but I have to think that even if he could learn to play without any prior experience, his height would knock out his chances. After all playing on the line is completely about leverage isn't it? OL's would just pick him up and knock him down with that height.

There was Ed "Too Tall" Jones at 6'9", but he was a LOT less heavy.

where speed and quickness is key
