Being an offensive lineman in the NFL is a massive challenge. Not only does one need to possess incredible strength and size but they need to complement that with agility and technique in order to be successful. The Minnesota Vikings are hoping they found just that type of player when they drafted Brian O’Neill.
A second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, O’Neill was a standout pass blocker at the college level, using his nimble feet, quick acceleration, and arm length. However, the questioning of his ability comes in terms of his overall strength and body mass.
Entering the draft, O’Neill weighed in at 297 lbs despite standing 6-foot-7.
