Too small. According to this board we need a nose tackle who is 6-8 495 pounds

 

I don't hate the idea...

330 lbs would really make all the difference 

 

It's a psychological thing... Like $9.99 vs $10

Update: Ankou signed 

2 open roster spots left 

 

On one hand: we need another 1-Tech DT beyond Lotulelei.

 

On the other: how often does an UDFA appearing on his 6th team in less than two years make a roster, let alone make a difference?

Ideally, the 6’8” part is actually the WIDTH as well as the height. Remember, we want to clog up the middle!

How do they work out a NT?

 

Wrong answers only.

With chicken wings. They give the DT an order of wings, they can choose mild, medium and hot with either ranch or blue cheese...

 

Instant cut = mild, ranch and leaving too much meat on the bones

Probable cut = medium and ranch

Practice squad candidate = Hot and Blue Cheese

Makes the team = Suicidal hot, Blue Cheese, asks for another order of wings, eats it all including the bones

Well there is a very good example of the second scenario on the Bills already...  Zimmer was an UDFA and is on his 6th team (Bils twcie) including a stint in the CFL.

I dont know - may also mean Horrible Harry didnt wow people at OTAs

 

I suppose, although without pads on it’s tough to draw any conclusions on DT play.

Give him a chance in training camp. Having another option for a big fat guy in the middle of the D-line can't cause any harm. Just make sure that he stays away  from the nutritionist that AJE used last year - or might report to camp at 200 lbs.😁
