    ^^

    Mountain is 7 inches taller and 75 pounds heavier than Wilfork. We are not talking about just another big strong dude. Mountain/Thor is one of the biggest/strongest guys on earth. He recently took 5 steps carrying a 1400 pound log on his shoulders.

    Buck is probably right, it would depend on his foot speed.

    He'd probably do very well in eggball

    Afterall it's a limited skill, no talent required, fatty sport made for overweight obese men like this guy

    I'm sorry you got picked last in recess. You should probably get over it though.

    At 26 with a knee injury it would be way too late for NFL or Division 1 College.

    Size and strength aren't the only factors for making a good lineman and especially a good tight end. He would still have to master blocking schemes and as a tight end would have to be able to catch and run routes.

    Also while he's big and strong he would still have to deal with other big strong guys running at him. As a tight end he would have to deal LB's who are around 300 who have been hitting people at full speed all their lives. If he hasn't been conditioned to take that sort of punishment his football career would last about as long as a GOT character.

    I don't think he would need any speed to play NT, basically just stunt left or right and take out the C and G, or bull rush right at the C. He would play hell with the run game... just like Wilfork will.
