The scary thing is, the water boy in this picture is probably close to six feet tall. Introducing Terrell Brown, a walk-on to the Ole Miss football squad this season. At a staggering 6'11" and weighing 390 lbs, Brown is considered the largest football player in the country and might be one of the largest we've ever seen. He seems like an evolved version of Baltimore Ravens' tackle Michael Oher from The Blind Side, as his football experience is very limited. Recruiting agencies have no records of him playing football at any of his previous institutions.
Some of the critics right away are saying he could be too huge to play football. I'm not so sure. If he could get a reasonable football IQ, get stronger on his feet, and turn some of what I presume to be fat into muscle on his body -- why couldn't he compete? Hell, forget competing -- he could dominate. Think about trying to stop this man or trying to get through his man, depending on which side of the ball he's plays the line. At 6'2", 325 lbs, Vince Wilfork would probably have some mighty struggles out-muscling Brown with that 9-inch, 65-pound disadvantage. And Wilfork is one of the biggest defensive linemen out there. I think this is a kid to work with. If Michael Oher could do it at his size, I see no reason why Terrell Brown couldn't do it. He would just be a freak of nature if he could strengthen the aspects of his football game. Hell, he could just stand at the defensive line with his hands extended upward. Just doing that would give quarterbacks fits on their attempted short crossing passes.
