Get to Know Daniel Faalele, the 6-foot-9, 400-pound Offensive Tackle Making His First-Ever Start Against Ohio State

After surrendering 13 sacks in just five games, Minnesota is making a big switch on the offensive line, turning to its massive true freshman offensive tackle, Daniel Faalele.

Faalele stands at 6-9, weighing in at 400 pounds. He's absolutely enormous, dwarfing Ohio State's biggest defensive lineman by 92 pounds, and even the biggest slob on a massive Buckeye offensive line by two inches and 81 pounds.
