Here’s the biggest difference between college football and the NFL: speed.
Everybody knows NFL linemen are huge, massive, gigantic. They blew past the 300-pound mark soon after William ‘‘The Refrigerator’’ Perry stunned us in 1985 by tipping in at 310 pounds, maybe 320.
Now there’s Bengals offensive tackle Trent Brown at 380, Ravens guard Daniel Faalele at 379 and Titans defensive tackle D’Vondre Sweat at 366. And they’re just slightly above the norm for their positions. These men don’t have to try to hurt you; simply falling on you is enough.
