Another William Perry type?

Big and fast: Louis is also a versatile and athletic young prospect. The 6-2, 303-pounder played tight end his first two seasons at San Diego State before being moved to right guard in 2007 and right tackle in 2008.

 

In San Diego for the NFL owners meetings, Angelo attended a workout the Bears had set up with Louis.

 

“He ran a 4.75 at around 300 pounds,” Angelo said. “I’ve never seen a guy that big since (former NFL offensive lineman) Randall McDaniel run that fast, and when he ran that fast, he was about 275 pounds.

 

“[Louis] has some special traits. We even threw passes out of the fullback position just to give him a look there. He’s a pretty good athlete, so we said with that versatility in the seventh round, why not?”

I remember back in the day they had a video of Perry at 300+ jumping up form the floor onto a table. That was 24 years ago. Also we didn't need NFL security to report on Perry's campus exploits. He reportedly consumed 33 beers in one sitting. Lets keep in mind that Fridge was considered overweight most of his career but with the Bears his weight was never over 350. Now we have 300 pound fullbacks in the league. And 260 pound QBs.

I think Melton might be the goalline guy. He scored 16 TDs on the goalline for Texas.
