SIGNED - OT Chris Walker

[melscott62]

This kid reminds me of the type the Iowa takes and turns into an all American LT

 

[PlainsWarrior26]

Glad to have this home town kid, this kid is already stacked just wait til he hits our weight program.

Definitely earned that, at least.... Love his film.

Great news and good for Walker, I'm sure he worked hard.

Really wants to play defense, apparently:

Excited for this kid.

I personally think he has a higher ceiling on the offensive side of the ball. But if he'd rather play defense I'm sure that takes precedence

My guess is that El Diaco has talked to him about growing into a NT. He is really lean for 260 lbs. He could add a lot to his frame.

At 6'6 and get him up to 290 he's the perfect size for a D-end in the 3-4 defense . He has a great motor will turn into a stud in 2 years.

Going to take a while for many to understand 3-4

I don't know that much about football, I take in from others smarter than me to form my opinions, so I can easily be put in my place...my point...I have wondered if this kid is a defender as opposed to an OL. He doesn't appear to have the wide body or thick hips like most successful OL. It doesn't surprise me to hear that they want him on DL instead of OL. Either way, excited to see him crack into the lineup.

 

[TonyStalloni]

His body type makes him look more like a skill position player than an OL. A long lean athletic look that should bode well for a DE in a 3-4. I'm excited for the possibilities!

I agree.

So is he actually going to start out at DT?
