Dudes hands are huge. 10.25 is likely in the 97th percentile and you can see that helping him with power when he plays. He has short arms but his hands have helped him a lot against longer armed tackles skmply bc they can’t win that power game against his hands.
First time i've heard hand size being a requirement for pass rushers. I can't say i've ever heard that before.

Hand size is very helpful for the hand to hand combat they perform on the line of scrimmage.

It’s usually not talked about much outside of QB and WR, but there’s a reason they measure hand size for every position.

With that said, between big hands or long arms, you take long arms. If George’s are short, that’s not ideal.

This dude is in Texas working out with Pat and his trainer. Only defensive guy I've seen there this offseason.

And he was at Von Miler's pass rush camp or whatever.

His work ethic is going to be the difference.

Very Smart on his part.

nice, I feel like this guy and Leo Chenal could enable us to run some 3-4. Jones back at RE and Nnadi at NT. Bolton/Gay in the middle, clark/chenal on the outside, sounds sexy on paper

No way - he absolutely looked his best in 2019 and playing at 260ish could REALLY make him dynamic. I think that is an excellent development.

I like what he did last year, don't get me wrong. But that would've left in in Tweener territory, IMO. He still wouldn't have been powerful enough to maul NFL tackles and he wouldn't have the bend required to finish some of these rushes off.

A little leaner shouldn't cost him functional strength but may give him just enough burst and agility to help significantly w/ his pass rush.

EDIT:

Yeah - here it is:

This is absolutely a good thing, IMO.
That might've been me, among others.

I stand by my belief that he might significantly benefit from an NFL weight training program, and I can't see how adding ten pounds of muscle could possibly hurt.

But I recognize that every 10 pounds costs at least a tenth/second of speed.

I just believe that his football IQ will compensate for that limitation.
