He's a heat-seeking missle.

Thank you for giving a player who has played in the past decade as an example. Remember how much **** Harrison had to deal with before he finally caught on too?

Jamie Winburn 5-11 230

Distribution AND COMPOSITION in my case. LOL

I'm 5'11" and 235lbs. Never played football. I was introduced to someone the other day and he said, "You remind me of a linebacker I used to know..."

That comment reminds me of meeting my history dept. coworker Taylor Greene who was 6'5' and abut 250 lb. When he told me he had attended Alabama State University on scholarship, I asked him what position he played there. His reply was "second clarinet".

Matt McCants played tuba until his senior year when he went out for football.

Yes, and I believe that if an NFL team had the patience to bring Matt along for a couple of years, he would have developed into a first rate OL player for many years.

Marvin was measured at the draft combine as 5' 9-1/8", a great testament to his heat-seeking skills.
