The New York Giants have a “type” when it comes to the defensive tackle position.
The Giants have viewed the “Planet Theory” as a rule when drafting defensive tackles for over a decade and a half now. The “Planet Theory” states that there are few people walking the planet who have a truly elite size as well as elite athleticism.
Kentucky defensive tackle Deone Walker might as well have his picture in the dictionary beside “Planet Theory”. Standing 6-foot-7, 340 pounds, there are few people on Earth as big as Walker. And of that subset of people, there are very few who can move like he does.
