Some people are just built BIG. If I was thin (skinny), with my height and build, I'd weigh about 180-195lbs (no joke). With average muscle mass and body fat percentage, I would be about 220-235 lbs. With the extra muscle mass and little big of extra fat I have on my body, I'm currently 252lbs and if I dedicate to tackle (my current position on my football roster...I'm also 3rd tight end) I would have to beef up quite a bit more to go places (high-end University ball). I'm looking to stay a lighter, quicker right tackle, and then try my hand at tight end for University.
My fellow O-Lineman are completely different than me, it's pretty funny. Our center is 5'9 280 lbs...he's a fat (and surprisingly stong) mother f*cker. Our two guards are like 5'10, 5'11 260 lbs and they're damn slow. I'm always one step ahead of them off the line. The left tackle is bigger...like 6'1 275, and is a more athletic build than the other guys...but he's still much slower than me, and he isn't 'mean' enough on the field.
And then we have our number one tight end who is simply a slightly out-of-shape wide receiver. He's still a bit quicker than me, but he's only like 6' 180lbs. Honestly...he's too small to block well and doesn't quite have the speed to be a deep passing threat. He's good for 5-10 yard crossing routes, but then can't break any tackles. Last practice I played tight end, I caught a 30 yard corner route pass when I literally jumped above the DBs and brought it down...it took them another 11 yards to take me down to the ground
And on quick-hitters, I always gain an extra 5-10 yards after initial contact.
Anyway, enough about my little football update
