A little check up on the big man, now at UNC. Shows as LT2 for his redshirt sophomore season. Saw a video and the guys said Belicheck wants guys who can buy beer to play OL. He brought in nine OL, almost all were long-time starters elsewhere. I think OL is the hardest spot to break through early in a career. As noted in the speed thread, some guys maintain their speed but add muscle. But for the big-boys, it is all about brute strength and power. Men will always beat boys.
Saw something else interesing, Miles is just 19. Can't buy beer for a while. He is also trying to transform his body from Bubba to Brutus. I expect big things from him by the time it is all said and done.
