still, if you soberly analyze his body, movement and athleticism, he most closely resembles joe staley.
he's an offensive tackle, first.
his legs are long, and his hips are way up there--that's an hardship for a d-line guy.
not saying he won't make it on D, just that his body best fits OT.

Offensive Line is a helluva lot harder to learn the Dline

Apparently his personal best for the discus throw is 68.24 meters, which is roughly 75 yards.

Could probably throw him all the way back to The Shire, along with Frodo & friends. That's where he belongs.

Can he punt further than Andy Lee?

Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio thinks that the Okoye at 6'6'' has to learn to play the game lower to the ground. "There aren't many 6'5" or taller guys that are good defensive players," Fangio said. "They've got to bend their knees and get them down to 6'2" when they need to."

I saw that clip with Fangio, and my first thought was bye bye Lawrence.
