Just checked. He had a pro day and his position is offensive tackle.

Mailata measured just shy of 6-foot-8 and weighed 346 pounds. His arms measured a massive 35.5 inches. He was timed at 5.12 seconds in the 40-yard dash, which would have been good for seventh among tackle participants at the NFL Combine in February. He also excelled in the short shuttle with a time (4.67 seconds) that would have been among the top 10 at his position. Mailata put up 22 reps on the bench press.

I'd be happy if we picked him up. I think he could be good addition for us. That's an impressive 40 time and shuttle. I think we'd get a steal with him in round 4.

Kirwin was stating that teams should be giving him a hard look as a defender

Yeah, I could see him doing well at DE or, might I suggest putting him at the 1 tech position?

Maybe the Cowboys can pick him up in the 6th round? This way they get their BIG nose tackle after they address OT/OG, MLB, FS, WR and RB in the earlier rounds.

That'd be terrific!

He’s a three year project at least just to get up to speed.

Exactly. Sure, pick him up as an UDFA and stick him on the practice squad.

Every year there is some freak from another sport that everyone talks about drafting. Has any of them stuck with a team, let alone played?

Brock Lessner was twice the athlete this guy is and he couldn't make a team.
